We took a day and headed to Norfolk, VA. There are 4 air craft carriers docked here. What an amazing site! They are ginormous! I was trying to take pics incognito. Here are a few. Pretty impressive!

| This is from a distance and you can see them lined up there along with many other kinds of ships. |
We also were able to spend a few days at Colonial Williamsburg. It was so much fun to interact with the characters who were in period costume and acted as if they actually lived in Colonial Williamsburg in 1770's-1780's. The kids were able to participate in RevQuest, a spy like mission that took us all over Colonial Williamsburg collecting clues and information. The girls and I are going to do a Colonial Period unit study at the end of our school year this year and going to Williamburg was the perfect way to get us excited for it!
