Vacation! No, Just a Trip!

I really need a vacation from vacation! Over Columbus Day weekend our family traveled to Colonial Williamsburg. We were so excited to see all of the museums and historical landmarks. And although we had fun, the trip was exhausting. The boys are too young to appreciate a tour of a 17th century mansion once occupied by Lord Dunmore, governor of colonial Virginia. Most of the trip was spent trying to make Naughty Nash Nice! (Like the alliteration) If you doubt me refer to the picture below of the pitiful child crying in his stroller. Despite a cranky baby we managed to see all of the sights we set out to see, including the Mariner's Museum in Newport News, Jamestown Settlement, and Yorktown. Of course we ended this trip the way that we try to end all of our vacations and that is with vomit. This time Scott threw up on our last day. So, if you ever travel to Yorktown watch for puddles in the parking lot. We hate to break family traditions by digesting our food properly while away from home.

What a trip! Do you ever feel like WALDO? Where will the Butlers go next? It has got to be so fun to be so close to such awesome sites! Someday the boys will be old enough to appreciate it. Just show them the photo's and say remember when...they will answer "Dad threw up...!!!" Memories!
