Nathan & Dad's Big Adv. - Day 1

WILLIAMSBURG, VA - It was almost 10:30 when we left home. After stopping to pick some cheap sunglasses, we went by to see Sandy before heading out of town. Since Sandy couldn't accompany us, we decided to take along one of her bears. Ginger will go everywhere we go and we'll take pictures of her adventure to share with Sandy when we return. We stayed for about an hour, but before we left Aunt Irma and Aunt Joan came in for their regular Friay visit. That was nice since we'd had such a short visit. We stopped at Chick-fil-A for a hearty lunch, hit the ATM, and were on the road by 12:40. It was beautiful day - partly cloudy and 80 degrees. We put the windows down and opened the sun roof.

We decided to avoid the interstates and have enjoy the ride without being rushed. We took US 301 south to US 17. When we got to the 301 / 17 junction, we stopped at Horne's for some Hershey's ice cream at their counter. Nathan had a hot fudge & strawberry sunday and I had a chocolate shake. Then he decided he wanted some fries to go. We were back on the road by 3:30.

We got a little turned around when we got close to Williamsburg, so didn't get to the hotel until six. Checked in and headed back out to Colonial Williamsburg. We tried to get tickets to a participatory demonstration of the life of a Revolutionary soldier, but had some problems and ended up at at the hotel pool after getting some dinner. We plan to go back in the morning for some re-enactments.
