Williamsburg Part 1!

Last Friday we drove to Williamsburg as a family. We spent the entire day up there and had a blast! We took sooooo many pictures, so it was hard to choose what all to post about!

This General Store is so fun! They have so many fun things to look at and buy inside! Lots of homemade crafts, foods, and decorations! I could spend a long time in this store and in the Trading Post down the street!

Darren and the kids HAD to go into the Ripley’s Museum. So, we went. Definitely not my favorite part of the trip, but still fun.

This was cool. The picture of the bank below is from my hometown in Vernal, UT. Basically they bricks for this bank were sent from Salt Lake and the cheapest way to do it was sending tons and tons of bricks by mail! They wrapped and mailed each brick individually!

Another “kid requested” outing. Miniature Golf. They had fun, we got through it! :)

I refused to drive to Williamsburg to go miniature golfing and see the Ripley’s Museum. I needed some culture and history! Thankfully in part two & three of my posts, you’ll see the historic side of Williamsburg and Jamestown! My favorite part of the trip! :)

The pictures are good of all the things you were able to see and do as a family. I especially like this picture at the bottom of Robin and Darren with their heads and hands (arms) hanging through the torture thing. Robin looks like she was tired. Such fun!!! Love you all!!!!

I love it when Darren has the expression on his face and body like he does above at the top of the pictures. Way to go Darren. You're a great man!
