North Carolina and Virginia

IMG_7694

We went to Virginia and North Carolina with a friend of mine.  He lives in Williamsburg.  He allowed my rowdy crew to stay the night with his family, so that gave us some time to visit Colonel Williamsburg, something we have not done since Peanut was about 6 months old.

It was a lot more fun this time.  Both kids had a fun time looking at all of the historic buildings and sites.  They also enjoyed getting to meet his daughter.

This picture cracks me up.  Greg was telling the kids a ghost story.  Look how entranced BabyP is with the story.  He talked about it the whole trip.  I don't remember what happened exactly, but BabyP swears he saw a ghost in the window.  He wanted to go back and check it out.  Us, being boring adults, were like... no... let's keep going... there was nothing there.  But BabyP swears, he saw something.  And maybe he did...

MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY.... Except not Monday, and people pay good coin for it.  On the way to the beach house was the "Digger Dungeon".  BabyP had been talking about it for ages, and we finally were able to go.  Needless to say... he was not impressed.  It was essentially closed for the season which meant we did not get to go on a ride on Grave Digger.  BUT, we did get to see a lot of them. AND shop at the gift store.

We did some Light house climbing and some visiting around the island we were on in NC.

We were also lucky enough to attend this little girl's 4th birthday party.

This is the balling house we stayed in with my friend's family.

And a picture that was worthy of the Christmas card.  Anything where you can see all of our faces is worthy of the Christmas card.

And this picture just cracked me up for obvious reasons.  Someone high jacked the picture.

And some dolphins.

This was the favorite part of everyone's vacation.  I think we could have skipped the last leg and everyone would have been okay.  There was a lot of reluctance to go to the beach in November, but the weather was spectacular and the company was great.
