In retrospect, I can see that we were a little crazy to plan a nonstop itinerary including stops at Virginia Beach, Jamestown, Williamsburg and Washington DC (including a tour inside the White House and Capitol Building) with a troop including 2 babies, 2 3-year-olds and 1 6- year-old, but we all survived and loved almost every moment of it.
No matter where we were going, Max was great and pretty much just happy to be there.
Reed giving a sermon at the church at the Jamestown fort.
Reed really wanted this hat at Williamsburg until the parade of colonial drummer boys came by (below) and he decided he wanted to find a drum instead. We saved our $20 and got this cute photo instead.
The history might have been a little over their heads, but Reed and Luke had a blast together wherver we were--even if it was yet one more old building.
Williamsburg was really interesting, but after being there all day, we all felt like they looked. The best part was the end of the day when we followed the minute men to the capital where they acted out the declaration of war and raising of the flag ending with cannon fire. Too bad they slept right through it.
These are our pictures from DC---can't you tell?? We got a wonderful tour of the Capitol building and White House as well as the National Archives and Mint. It's probably no surprise that the kids needed a break after all that where they could just be kids on a DC street corner.

I love the pics!! Sounds like you guys had a blast and the boys made lots of fun out of everything they could...I love the hats and that's so classic that Reed would want the hat so badly but then change his mind when he saw the drummers. Ethan would do the exact same thing!
I love the pictures of Reed, Luke and Max asleep at Williamsburg, (and hopefully the family and friends of that Asian woman who took pictures of them asleep in the strollers love them too. It was a real fun trip, next time we will have to put Tracey back on snack pack duty, those oat and honey granola bars from the street vendor really weren't that tasty, especially when I was having my third package. :)
What a fun trip! Seriously, your boys are so cute!
