On Vacation

Brian and I are ending the first leg of our 2 week vacation. We have been in Newport News, Virginia staying with Brian's sister and bro in law. His grand mommy has been staying with us also. Brian's Dad and his wife Joyce are staying in a nearby hotel. It has been great getting to know his family better and I really feel like part of the family. We have had the chance to do some sight seeing as well. Not an easy task with a 2 year old. Williamsburg and Jamestown, both historic sites and a great time. Best of all was Busch Gardens. The best amusement park EVER. River had a great time and we could not have asked for better behavior. We got there at 9:30 am and stayed until 8:30 pm. We went with Jen, her kids and Brian's Dad. The kids got to go on tons of rides and Brian and I got to go on some great roller coaster rides. Some were big enough to scare us. We wore Jim (Brian's Dad) out, but he was a great sport and really enjoyed spending time with the all the kids. It really gave River a chance to get to know him.



Sunday we will travel 8 HOURS to Fontana North Carolina. We will be staying in cabins near the lake. We will enjoy spending time with his mom and both sisters. We will travel with Jen, Bill and their kids and meet the rest there.



River did a fantastic job flying here. It was one of the most relaxing trips we have taken. Pics when we return!
