It's a rainy Saturday morning and all of us are feeling like going a little slower today. We have been going nonstop for quite a while. We decided to do a little schoolwork, some laundry, and even let Dad shut his eyes for a little while. Unfortunately, I have been sick the entire trip with a cold and cough and it doesn't seem to be getting better. Brian has been so good to make sure we all get our sleep, even though he is up at 5 am ready to go.
We spent Thursday at Mount Vernon. It was incredibly hot and humid, but so much fun anyway. The kids loved exploring the entire estate. We spent all day there.

On Friday we spent the day in Williamsburg. It was so fun for the kids to see an entire colonial town with the British flag still hanging and the townspeople having to decide which side they would be on. We walked 10 miles, but it was so fun. The kids amazingly had the legs for it--even Zach.
The day ended with the militia firing their muskets and canon followed by the fifes and drums. Zach told us that someday he is going to be in the military and ride a really fast horse.
