After exploring Williamsburg, and shopping until none of us could stand it anymore, we headed to Jamestown.
I think we actually preferred this area. It was so pretty to drive to, and we loved being able to walk around by the water. We took a “Living History Tour”, which was pretty neat to learn about what it was like for the first English settlers. The kids also participated in a scavenger hunt, where they could win a prize after finding all the clues. Since my kids are totally motivated by any kind of prize, they completed the hunt in no time. One of the best parts about having so many siblings is how fun it is to compete do things together!
Here are a few pictures of our Jamestown adventure:
Don’t you love Zach’s shirt? Good Hates Best. That can be our quote of the week:)
After touring Jamestown, we headed to the pool and then out for dinner. We were all pooped because we had gotten up early that morning to participate in our annual CDF tennis tournament. More on that to come…. All in all, another great day!
More great pictures!
I love how happy your family is just spending time together!!!
They really do enjoy each other’s company. Although it’s hard to capture all the fighting on camera! I have it on video though:)
Love all the pics! Sounds like you guys are having a fantastic vacation. And as for the people saying “good job” on your run, I love that reminder that we really have the power to positively or negatively effect the kind of day others, even strangers, are having. I definitely want to be a positive influence on others. Thanks for the reminder that my own behavior effects others more than I might realize!
So true! We never know who our actions are going to impact!
I love scavenger hunts! I bet doing one on vacation is super fun. Jamestown looks and sounds eventful! Carry on with all the fun!
The fun certainly continues! I love scavenger hunts too:)
sounds fun! hope you are all enjoying every minute of your holidays..sounds like great family time with the tennis and the hunts..love it!
We are having an awesome time:)
and good for you re the running even when on holidays….I always admire people who on vacation still mange to stay healthy and in routine with fitness and nutrition .
Makes me more motivated for next weeks back to the gym routine..if you can do it on vacation then surely I can do it during the school year right?
That is also so cool Zach runs too..
Uhmmm, yeah, the nutrition part? Maybe, not so much ! Lol
At first I thought the shirt said “GOD hates best.” I was trying to put it in biblical perspective. Jamestown looks like a blast!
LOL LOL That would have been quite the quote!!!
Looks like lots of fun! I love those walking tours where history is involved! Glad you are having such a fun trip!
They are really fun tours. My kids got right in character along with the guide!
Love the pics. Looks like so much fun!
Thanks, Jennifer! We are having a blast!
Love these pics!! I do love that quote. Scavenger hunts have never been my best skill but I join in anyway!
It certainly is one of my favourite quotes too!
Scavenger hunts are are still thrilling for me as an adult. I want to go on vacation like you guys! Reminds me of my childhood very fondly.
I love them too! Vacations are really, truly, amazing. Every second!
Good hates best is just laugh out loud funny! Looks like so much! Jamestown is on our family bucket list, too! :)-Ashley
I can’t wait to do walking tours with the kiddos. I did one in Chicago and loved it!
