Our VIRGINIA Trip with Del's parents!

Here we are in Jamestown, Virginia. Del's Dad Del, Del and Del...and Tina (me).

Tina on board the ship. Random fact: Did you know that Virginia is for lovers?

In Yorktown --a battlefield of the Revolutionary War. You can see the seige lines (or mounds of dirt that the Colonial troops dug up for protection and they bombarded Yorktown from there...)

Here we are at the beginning of our day in Colonial Williamsburg. I was pretty fascinated with these oxen. They are so big and move so slow!

Continuing our trek to Colonial Williamsburg. We walked under this really cool bridge. In the picture is Del, Del and Vicki...and Trey in the stroller. He was so good on the trip. He hardly EVER cried. He would nap in his stroller while we just walked around and looked at things, museums, etc. He is such a good traveller!

Walking down one of many roads in Colonial Williamsburg. You can see the back of Vicki, Del and Del Wayne. Unfortunately, my battery died early on, so I don't have many pictures of our day of exploration. However, I did grab a picture of the wheelwright shop below.

Del (pictured) asked the wheelwright lots of questions and recorded his responses. For example, did you know that a wheelwright has to do a 6 year apprenticeship and that this is their actual profession? They make things (wheels) and aren't just putting on a show for visitors. The wheelwright seemed to take his job very seriously.

Here are Vicki and Del as they are entering the Yankee Candle Co.!!! You can't tell it, but this is just a part of the building. This place is like a mini mall inside with lots of different shops and over 150 fragrances of candles. Very COOL!!! I love this place. They have a Christmas room where it actually snows. They have a lot of different kinds of cute shops inside all owned and run by Yankee Candle Co.

Just one of the rooms with candles. Aaah...

Still inside Yankee Candle Co.

Del inside the Christmas area at YCC (Yankee Candle Co.) You can't tell it but it's snowing. It's actually soap bubbles.

Del and Vicki in front of the Mariners Museum in Newport News.

Del, Tina and Trey on the deck of a replica of the USS Monitor...the first iron-clad ship and from the Civil War.

Trey at the museum...so good natured!

Trey thinks the turret from the USS Monitor is hilarious. This is a replica of the turret that was found at sea...
