Stayvavation: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!

Wednesday Marc and I went back over to Yorktown to walk at the waterside.

We met my mom, cousin and my godmother for lunch and then headed to Colonial Williamsburg to walk around.

Originally we had hoped to vacation in North Carolina and tour the Biltmore Estate and other local landmarks but that just wasn't in the budget this year.

Thankfully my mom allows us to come and stay at her country estate whenever we would like. LOL On Thursday morning we packed up and headed up to Northern VA to visit a family friend in the hospital. The traffic was crazy coming back (as usual) so we stopped at The Container Store and Ikea before heading back home. As of right now we don't have any further vacation plans as Marc is about to head back to school next month to finish up his final year before graduating in May with a Masters Degree in Theology. After that we "plan" to take a family cruise (hopefully with Disney for the first time)!!!! 

Now though its back to the daily grime, which meant grocery shopping on yesterday and hopefully back to eating some healthier meals.

Stay vacation! Sunday through Tuesday!

This past weekend we traveled to my home county for a family celebration and my home church Homecoming service. On Saturday we celebrated the 1 year anniversary of my cousin Trice and her husband Andy. On Sunday we attended service in the church that I grew up in, was baptized at and first learned how to serve.

Monday morning we went to breakfast with family and chilled the rest of the day at my mom's.

Tuesday Marc, my mom and I explored Yorktown.

 

Sometimes I forget how much history was made in my backyard. LOL

After we sent sightseeing we had lunch at a hotel that I know has been around since I was a child.

It had been raining off and on all day but it cleared up briefly and allowed us to visit the Nancy Thomas gallery.

That evening we hung out with more family at (93 years young) aunt's home! I love spending time in her company!
