williamsburg trip

Jon had a conference meeting in Williamsburg on Sunday and Monday so we made a long weekend of it and went with him. We drove to Richmond on Friday and spent the night with Aunt Barbara and Uncle Dwight and went to Williamsburg Saturday and Sunday morning. Then while Jon was in meetings on Monday Aunt Barbara and Uncle Dwight came to Williamsburg to spend time with Lydda Grace and me. This was our first "big" trip with just the three of us and it was wonderful... and tiring!

Our little colonial baby.


Time to meet the horses... or as Lydda Grace says, "dog, dog, dog, dog"

There was a great reenactment going on while we were there.

Lydda Grace in a pudding cap. People put these on their kids when they were learning to walk so if they fell they wouldn't hurt their heads! Apparently they were so common that children have them on in old family portraits. So funny.

Dogs were the highlight of our trip. Lydda Grace spotted them everywhere and when we went to the toystore it was no exception!
Playing with some cute dolls at the toy store.

With Aunt Barbara on the porch at the Chicohominy House after lunch on Monday. It was delicious!

With Uncle Dwight after lunch. Thank y'all for treating Lydda Grace and I to such a fun-filled day!!

This was also Lydda Grace's first trip in her "big girl" carseat. (Somehow I missed the memo that we could turn her around at a year and we had still been lugging her in her infant seat!!) Look how tired she is on our way home (perhaps that's because two nights she woke up at 1:30 in the morning and stayed up for a couple hours each time!!)
