The Hamiltons Come to Virginia!


Well, we just finished a fantabulous Spring Break & Sydney's parents decided to come pay a visit to ole Richmond & the east coast of the United States.  We were happy to have them & we all had a grand time in our 1 bedroom apartment.  We started the grand tour with a little walk around Richmond.
This is a factory or something that was on Belle's Island.  It's a fun place to walk & probably has some historic significance with a war or something.  :)  I'm sure Jim and Kaylene would love to fill you in on the specifics.  
Waiting outside the Governor's Mansion in Colonial Williamsburg.
Me with a lot of swords.  Imagine this picture time 10 and you would be in the entryway.  There were seriously like 500 swords & guns on the walls.
Syd, Jim, & Kaylene on the back porch of the Governor's Mansion with our interesting tour guide.  
Obligatory stock photo just outside the courthouse in Williamsburg.  They look so happy!
The blacksmith.  Sydney is glad she walks dogs for a living.
The joiner.  He was a character.
This is the capitol building.  Sydney is always ready for the camera!

We had a great time in Williamsburg.  Lots of walking and looking at stuff, but it was all very enjoyable and impressive.  Apparently all the people who work there really know how to do everything.  The blacksmith makes tools for everyone & the cobbler makes shoes & such.  It was pretty cool.
 
I think we officially found our colonial spirit.  After all that adventure, we drove back to Richmond & had a wonderful meal prepared by Sydney and I & got ready for our next adventure.  Jamestown!
