countdown fun pt.1

we've had a fun summer. nothing too spectacular. no big family trips. just hanging out.
we're big fans of the day trip around here. (honestly, i'm not fond of hotels)
the hubsters was going out of town for two weeks (the week before school and the first week of school) i think he planned that trip too nicely. if you have children you know what those weeks can be like.
in order to fill that last week before school started we had our own countdown to fun.

monday morning. grandma came over and we headed down 95 to jamestown.

it was a bit rainy but light rain during a virginia august is so much better than the alternative.

jp was the most excited. typically the 4th grade classes get to take a field trip to jamestown, but due to budget cuts their class did not get to go. he was major bummed. this definitely worked out better.

3 hours drive down, an hour and a half on site, a 30 minute brain aching stop at sonic and a 3 hour drive back.
yes, it was all worth it.
