Sunday we went to Williamsburg for our 3rd visit of the summer. We started out by seeing several of the re-enactments we had missed before--that was interesting, and both Brett and I felt like we learned a lot (and remembered very little of the details of early American History from our own schooling). The kids rented costumes for the day--dresses for the girls and shirts knapsacks and wooden guns for the boys. They were so excited to be dressed up!
Several of the things the kids most wanted to do happened to be closed this time around, so I'm glad we got to see most of the re-enactments. They did the tomahawk and grenade throwing again, and we found another great little old time sandwich shop for lunch.
Here are Bonnie and I...You can't tell because of my 70's sunglasses (which I scrounged up from some old box when my regular ones got broken), but this is moments before I announced to the group that I was too sick to stick out the rest of the day. I had been coming down with something for the two previous days of their visit--sore throat, losing my voice, etc. After trekking around in the heat at Williamsburg all day I just started to crash. Thank goodness Brett was there this time with us and was carrying Simon most of the day...I don't know what I would have done if I had him to carry and my bag.
Jonah decided to come home with Brett, Simon and I, and we left Maya with Bonnie and Dave. They ended up staying several more hours and having a great time. As for us--by the time I got home and got into bed I had a fever of 103, a horrible cough, a splitting headache. Brett stuffed me full of liquids and played games with Jonah while Simon and I slept. I still have it 4 days later, but have been getting better every day since.
