Our busy vacation continues.... Thursday we left the Great Wolf Lodge and went to Colonial Williamsburg. Becca especially was intrigued with the differences between the colonial time and how things are done now. Our favorites were seeing the tradesmen at work. We visited a carpenter shop, watched baskets and yarn being made, played games children played a long time ago, and wandered about buildings and shops. Becca's favorite was the wig shop because as she said it was so interesting. Did you know that they would shave their heads to wear wigs - even the women and children? Learning made fun!

After a fun and exhausting day at Williamsburg, we drove onward to see the rest of the Wilcox clan (Andy's dad, brother and sister-in-law). Friday, we toured our favorite museums in Washington DC. We saw the Air & Space and the Natural History and enjoyed eating lunch and playing tag on the Mall. Tori LOVED the bugs at the insect zoo (in the Natural History museum). She was particularly intrigued by the bees and spent a long time watching them and laughing at their movements.
