Jamestown, Virginia

Here we are inside the Powhatan Indian dwellings there were so many furs: raccoon, badger, beaver, fox, bear, deer, wolf and more...
Behind Alicia is the hide of a wolf.
A rare pose of just "me", ahh...so soft.
Those Indians sure knew how to create a warm and comfortable bed. I'd take this over a sleeping bag ANY day!

We arrived in Richmond, VA on July 3. The next morning, after meeting up with Betty, Alicia and Harry, we drove to Williamsburg, VA. Our first stop was the settlement in Jamestown. Larry and I had been here before (pre-Kids) and we thought that there was enough there to keep the kids engaged. They did pretty well considering the time change and the jet lag. Harry and Larry were kind enough to carry Spencer and Sedona in the backpack carriers. Once it began to rain buckets, the grandmas were ready to go, it was kinda muddy so it's probably a good thing.
The game plan was to go to Yorktown in the evening to view the fireworks for the 4th of July. There was a storm system moving through so most of the shows around us were cancelled.
