Back From Vacation

Hi all we are back from vacation. After Washington DC we hit Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, and Bush Gardens. It's all in the same area. Of course it wasn't all vacation for the kids we let the Colonial Actors put them to work. First on the farm.

Then to help build a traditional canoe. Here they are scraping off the burnt wood with an oyster shell.

Finished canoe, this was already finished the one the kids worked on had lots left to do and will take several more weeks to finish.

Now if you plan to visit the area make sure you take advantage of Colonial Williamsburg's best deal. If you are a cheapskate like me (or even if you aren't) you'll love this deal.

This is the refillable souvenir mug, it costs $10. Now I know you have probably seen its like in other places but what makes this different is this one gets you free refills for the rest of the year. That's right if your there for a week or plan a second visit its still good. It's the greatest deal I"ve ever seen at a tourist attraction.
