February 2012 - Part 3

North to Virginia ... we drove Donnie up to Norfolk and stayed 10 days to enjoy some time with him before the ship set sail. The Historic Triangle area (Jamestown-Yorktown-Williamsburg) has so many kid-friendly things to do. Here we are playing in wigwams (?) at the Jamestown Settlement.


These were filled with real animal furs that you could handle. The kids had a blast trying to figure out what the animals were (okay, this one was pretty easy!).

Indian boys all cozy in their fur lined bed!



Jamestown has several replica ships built to size that you can can climb around on. They take these out sailing a few times a year as well.



Little conquistadors. Okay, this wasn't a Spanish settlement, but still...

Playing mini golf at the hotel. As usual, someone is very grumpy.

Look, a Kennedy fire hydrant!

In the stocks at Williamsburg.
