I was looking through some pictures and stumbled upon this fantastic adventure that I forgot to write about. It was during our whirlwind close to the summer. A.'s birthday party, trip to NY, and trip to Williamsburg were all in 1 week. We pretty much crammed a summer worth of fun into one very expensive yet awesome week. We met B's side of the family in Williamsburg so they could experience the thrill junkies that are our children. We all had a blast.
On our way back to the hotel, we saw how unbelievably close we were to Colonial Williamsburg. History is one of B.'s favorite subjects and A. has just finished all of the Felicity American Girl series. Obviously, we had to stop for a bit. We parked the minivan in the parking garage with about 32 other minivans and started walking.
The first stop was this horse. It obviously was Penny, the horse that Felicity wanted in her books. 15 minutes we dragged them away to head to the little shops etc. B. had it pulled up on his phone since we weren't exactly sure where to go. We walked about 5 minutes and I began to question him. We reconsulted with the app and both agreed to keep going. 5 more minutes and I started to carry K. We considered turning around to go get the van but decided, "how much farther could it be?" Well, the app then had us start tredging up the interstate. REALLY... Our X on the map was getting closer and closer and there is no turning back now.
So, we tredged up the interstate with cars whizzing past. We called Gramps to the rescue. He, whom left the hotel 45 minutes after us, was already glancing at the old homes and storefronts. He got his car from the parking garage, came and picked us up. Three of us loaded in the back seat sans car seats, and Daddy hopped in the trunk. We rode for the 2 mile trek back to... the same parking garage where we parked our car.
Fun, better late than never:)
