Busch Gardens - Williamsburg


After a ride on this.....


Grace looked like this!


While Brett and Emily tackled the wildest rollercoasters, we enjoyed the swings.

The swings were a little tame for Daniel.


Paparazzi are everywhere!


I think they had fun!


Uncle Brett and the gang


Who had the most fun?


Daniel is still having fun!

Yorktown


Two silly girls and their grandma



On a cool, rainy day at Yorktown, we found some benches and had a McDonald's picnic.


Our old home in Hampton, VA



Someone who lives in our old house has a green thumb.
Glen built the gray shed in this picture around 1990.

The dog walker

The Battlefield


Align Center
The wildflowers were in full bloom.


Some of the homes are still standing from the Civil War
and are identified by a plaque near their front door.

One of the most impressive monuments is this one from Alabama.




Indians at Gettysburg?



This artist was chipping away at this monument. Maybe it is a work in progress.



This is a statue of a priest who ministered to the troops.



The restoration of the farms is so admirable.






Can you see the hole from the cannonball?
