Triumphant Return to VA Beach!

We had a really great time in Virginia Beach relaxing and catching up with old friends!  Per usual, we forgot to take pictures with our friends, but totally remembered to take pictures of all the stuff we saw.  It was so nice to get out of the city for a couple days and relax by the ocean, and since it was the last weekend of the off season, it was even better!  Definitely needed after so much Spanish!!!  It's kind of weird hanging out in VA Beach again, since we used to live there, but it was fun...and we'll probably be back at least once every time we find ourselves back in the DC area.  On this trip we also took the time to stop at Jamestown settlement to learn about our first colony in the New World.

View up the beach, what a lovely (cold) morning!

Representing (per usual!) at Jamestown

Reproduction of Native American village at Jamestown.  I want a dwelling like this...so practical!!

Replicas of the boats the colonists came over on....can you even imagine living on a boat like that for months on end?!  Yikes!!
