... ago with my travel plans. We both had time to experience our children alone and for that I'm truly grateful. Thank you to all that have read up to this point. Any comments or questions are welcomed.<br><br> <br><br>Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!

... 4 Shoppes although at night it's hard to see much. People worked during the day and when it was dark went to sleep. Still, it's fun to walk around such a unique town. Maybe the Haunted Tour would of been better??? Some things weren't suggested for children, so....?<br><br>Returned to our room where wine and chocolate chip cookies are waiting for us.

... is something we explore more with a tour entitled "In Our Own Words". I was surprised to see our tour guide was a young white lady, but she did a nice job in an hour taking us from the beginning of slavery to Obama. <br><br>Colonial Williamsburg is a town with some private homes and anyone can walk through. You don't have to pay to do it, but you have to have a ticket ...

... asks Melissa if her granddaughter should get the canary she desires. She also asks us, the audience what advice we have for her being the first First Lady. What should her duties be if anything? We're a sorry lot and really don't have any advice for her at all. She seems like a lovely lady. Her only flaw I see is her desire to keep her ...

Without a doubt this was Melissa's favorite day. Amist all the history and tours, there is a welcomed break of a full day to just be a kid - myself included of course! I bought in advance the Bounce Ticket which included unlimited entrance to Busch Gardens, Colonial Williamsburg, and The Water Park although that wasn't open now being the end of October and BG is only open weekends. Last weekend it rained here and ...

Took a cab to Union Station to pick up our rental car for our trip to Mt. Vernon. Rainy day, but that's okay as we'll be inside or driving much of the day. Toured the house, saw the museums, and ate at the Inn - Peanut Soup and Apple Pie. Peanut Soup tasted like, well - peanut butter. They gave me the recipe although I didn't really want it. Mt. Vernon is incredible as it sits on The ...

... the creamy bowtie shrimp pasta were my favorites. And lets not forget the unusual desserts for a brunch buffet. No run-of-the-mill fare here. Seriously, you must try the Lodge Sunday Buffet! <br><br>Toured and educated, and shopped ourselves till closing, and lingured in the gardens of the Governors Palace after the tour... and after hours. Really expected to get kicked out, but we wandered around and found the hilltop view of the ...

... Clark partook. We quickly viewed the Apothecary with old and odd medical instruments on display. We were able to stop in the Silversmith and General store without a purchase. We found the Post Office to be of great interest where they showed a poster of the old alphabet where the "J" and "U" were missing, old colonial board games, books of conduct and many other interesting items of that time frame. Clark purchased a period book entitled ...

... there (probably more active during the tourist season-kind of quiet when we were there).  We also walked down to the replica ships where I proceeded to (temporarily) lose my blackberry when laying inside a sleeping area on the ship.  Again, with few people around, we wandered around, in and out of the various dwellings

Today we travelled about 3 hours east to Colonial Williamsburg, Virginina. A trip that at most should have taken 4 hours, took about 6. Matt's phone ran out of juice and the only charger we had was the cigarette lighter one. The cigarette lighter blew a fuse. We drove around for an hour to find a service station that had the right fuse. We finally got that replaced and he got his phone plugged back ...
