Williamsburg

 For Fall Break 2018 we flew into Washington DC airport and drove 3 hours to Williamsburg, VA.  We met my parents and Elly & Garen there and stayed in my parents time share.  It was such a fun and educational trip.  It was wonderful to spend it with not just our immediate family, but also with Grandparents and the fave Elly & Garen.  We did miss our Peter though.  We decided to let him stay home with the other Grandma and Grandpa.  Helen & Calvin drove from Idaho to spend the week with Peter, and we were very appreciative of their kindness.  Helen even got Peter potty trained!

This is at Yorktown.  We saw remnents of settlements there, both of the indians and the early Americans and saw the boats coming in.

Brea really enjoyed the indian village.  This is a turtle shell shield.

We saw the small quarters on the boats.  Jeff is laying in one of the nicer bunks, for the Captain!

We made these cute Halloween people and decorated the condo with them.  The kids helped a little but they were more interested in swimming in the pool.

We rode this bus around Williamsburg, and would just bring the whole stroller on.  Grandpa kept Ephraim happy the whole ride.

The inside of the homes were fully furnished in period furniture with guides in period clothing to tell us all about the town and people.  Even the yards were kept up and it was neat to see.  This is a garden in the back yard of a home.

 Jackie and I (and Ephraim) did Williamsburg one day just the two of us, everyone else went to Butch Gardens.  It was a rainy day but we had a great time and saw a lot.  We ate in one of the taverns on this beautiful china and it was authentic food to the era.
