Gettysburg

We went to Gettysburg and did an Auto Audio tour. Pretty much you buy a CD and then it tells you where to drive and tells you what you are looking at.

It was really pretty which sounds wrong to say since it was a Civil War battlefield.

Paula and Sammy

We saw lots of cannons and monuments like these.

We were headed to the visitor's center. It up past the building on the left. Josh decided to park the RV and the far end of the parking lot. We're not quite sure why since there was only 1 other vehicle in this huge parking lot. Maybe it's because we teased him about parking too close to the other RVs in the Wal-Mart parking lot on the very first night.

Breakfast at our KOA campsite. Josh makes really good pancakes.

At the beach

Barry and Nancy have a house right on the Chesapeake Bay. That's where we are staying and Saturday we played in the water and walked along the beach.

Sandy found this shark tooth on a walk. This is a rare find because they normally aren't this big.

James found sea glass

Paul got an Abraham Lincoln hat when we went the American History Museum and he wears it everywhere.

Sam and Paul found an old buried tire at the beach. They dug it out with the thought it would float in the water. They soon found out that tires don't float so they just sat in it.

JD and James took the kayak out on the water. The first time James went out with Josh and he tipped it over as he was trying to get into it. (I wasn't there with the camera)

Dylon was trying to eat the sand...um, yummy.

DC Duck Tour

We took a tour of Washington D.C. on an amphibious vehicle called a duck. This is the duck we rode in. It drives around the monuments and the capital and then it goes into the Potomac River. It was a lot of fun and it was the highlight of the day for all the boys. They especially like driving in and out of the water.

The capital building

We all got quackers for taking a duck tour

Dylon used it as a new pacifier

The Washington Monument

We made it to the Chesapeake Bay!

We went to the Calvert Marine Museum in Solomon's Island, Maryland. There is a lightouse that you can walk through and tour. It is the Drum Point Lighthouse.

Here is the light at the top of the lighthouse.

They all have a little Captain in them

Dylon in the kids room...he's a great sailor

Dylon making friends with a turtle. We all got to touch a turtle and a horseshoe crab.

Jamestown

Tuesday we went to Jamestown. That's were the first English colony was established. There were the restored ships that they journeyed over on. We toured all of them...the boys made certain we saw every nook and crany of them. We walked through the fort and saw them making nails and pegs that they will use to build a new building. They build them exactly the way they used to back then. It was really neat to see.

At the church...

Colonial Williamsburg

Sorry it has been a while since the last post, we haven't had the best internet access. Here's a recap of the week!

After an adventure to find a bus and then finally calling a taxi we made it into Colonial

Williamsburg. It is a colonial town from the Revolutionary War era. I didn't take too many good pictures here.

This is Sam's hat...Dylon and JD were trying it on.

Paul and Sam posing for the camera.

We made it to Virginia!

Along our trip we've seen lots of lightening bugs at night. Here is a video of some of them.
It might be had to see, sorry.

We arrived in Williamsburg, Virginia on Monday evening. We finally found a RV park where the pool stayed open until 9pm. The boys were in need of some pool time.
