This year our family decided to trade in our standard trip to Hawaii for something different. Instead of soaking up the sun, laying on the beach, and reading books I don't usually have time for we went to... Virginia. My mom was pretty excited about it. Me, not so much. I just wasn't sure Virginia could compete with Hawaii. It can't. But it was still fun. Maybe because I actually really like history, and it was shocking to realize how much of my public education history I have forgotten. I'm sure my teachers tried, but I didn't remember much from early American history, so it was like learning it all for the first time again.
(Yeah, that's my great times 17 grandpa mentioned in the plaque...)

Ah Virginia. The Mother of Presidents. The Old Dominion state.
I miss you old friend, especially your beautiful autumn colors and slightly less-beautiful residents.
Your family looks the same as they did 8 years ago! Can you believe it has been that long?? I think I'd take Hawaii over Virgina too, but at this point I'm not one to be picky, I just NEED a vacation!
