The next stop on the Hamilton train was Colonial Williamsburg where we stopped for the day. Laura mentioned this in her blog but I wanted to give my impression of the town. This was truly a wonderful place to visit with all the colonial characters walking around and working in all the stores and shops. I may have learned more this day than the rest of the family as I was not so up on colonial America.

The next day of our trip was traveling through Norfolk Virginia headed to Virginia beach were we had a nice day basking in the sun and watching the kids play. The water in Virginia was not as warm as I had hoped but it was much warmer than Massachusetts. Another one of the things I have always wanted to see was the Chesapeake Bay bridge. This bridge is 20 miles long and goes under the bay for a mile in three places which I thought was cool. We got an unexpected bonus when we went to the end of the bridge and came back. They have a restaurant on the south end of the bridge and we got to see a wonderful sunset.

Now, we made it through three states the next couple of days and stayed in North Carolina and Savanna Georgia where we tried to get some great pictures. It was raining pretty good and Savanna had a little flooding so no pictures other than the swans we saw at the KOA we were staying at.

Our last stop before heading to our next job at the wild wood KOA was a great little resort on the gulf coast of Florida called Natures Resort in Homosassa. We were on the bank of the river and were able to see many of this states great birds, a small alligator and a manatee.

We were able to check out a small beach the next day and the kids were able to see blue crabs, hermit crabs, sea snails and even a live horseshoe crab that was trying to eat Jacob!
