Kelly surprised me with an amazing Christmas present...a trip back East for a week. She knows I love American History and the only visit I have ever made back east was a brief trip to Boston. So, when she found a great deal on a place in Williamsburg, VA she snatched it up and booked the flights. Williamsburg is a colonial town where you can walk around and see a day in the life of a colonist. Everyone in the town is wearing colonial attire and doing the various trades of colonial times. It used to be the capital of Virginia during the Revolutionary War, so the old Capital buiding is still there. It was a blast. It is also with in 10 minute drives of Jamestown, the first English Settlement, and Yorktown where the British were defeated for good, giving us our independence. After sometime there, we visited a key battle site of the Civil War and then spent two days in Washington DC where we stayed with some Westmont friends. We have a ton of pictures and I had a hard time picking ones to share. I have 5 entries so you may need to click on previous posts to see them all.
In Jamestown, I rolled dice for the "rights" to Kelly. No serious, highest roll won, I rolled a 6, but apparently the guy meant high as in the air so I lost. Kelly was then brought up in front of everyone and they tried marrying her off to someone else. Hey you win some you lose some, what can you do?
We decided the only thing to do was to fight for Kelly's honor. We won because Kelly looked so fierce and tough that it scared our enemies.
"Have you ever been on a shrimping boat?" "No, but I have been on a really big boat."
Hey when you pay money to fly across the country, you are not going to let a little rain get in our way, or a lot for that matter. Being the gentleman that I am, I took the umbrella. I would not want to embrass Kelly making her walk around with a husband who had wet, messed up hair. I did it for her, really.
Kelly was so happy that I had the umbrella and my hair looked good that she wanted a picture to capture her wet, rain soaked smile.

I so enjoyed your trip. You have such a great sense of humor. I felt a little silly sitting here laughing out loud by myself. The dogs kept coming up trying to figure out what was up. By the way Dustin, I will be in Palm Springds this Friday through Tuesday.
Unfortunately, Kelly and I will be out of town this weekend. We are going with a group of people from our church to Mammoth for the long weekend.
Hey you Guys,
How wonderful was this trip! Go, Kelly! You are too much. What a great gift!
