What A Vacation

In June, my in-laws came to visit Virginia for the first time. For old people, I was surprised how good they looked, and how they had the desire to travel as much as we did. Let's just say, it was not a boring trip! Here is a
First Day: They arrived at night on a Friday. We hung out for a bit and went to bed.
2nd Day: Went to breakfast with my parents and headed to Williamsburg to stay in their time share. They had a heated pool that was open late and we had our own private hotub in our suite.
3rd Day: We, I mean Jason, got lost in Williamsburg trying to get to Jamestown. It was a beautiful very humid day. We did the Jamestown experience for hours. Then we (Jason) got lost trying to find historical Williamburg, so we could walk the streets and see the reenactment of something with a fake George Washington. It was also our anniversary and we got to go to the Olive Garden.
4th Day: We went to Norfolk and took a tour of the Battleship Wisconsin. So cool. Then we went to the beach. We did not get lost, because I drove. But at the beach, I got too brave and hurt my self jumping waves! So dumb. I felt my knee go over to the side and it still felt like it was out of place so later that night, Jason and I spent the night in the worst ER ever! I returned to the hotel bound to not ruin our vacation no matter what.
5th Day: A day of rest. The kids went swimming as usual and to play mini golf.
6th Day: We heading to D.C. for the day, first to the Temple. It was wonderful. Then I took them on quest to see everything they could around the capitol. (I would not let Jason drive!) At the last minute, I decided to show them the National History museum. Thank goodness I had a wheelchair and pain meds. Then we went back to Williamsburg, and the kids swam.
7th Day: We got up early to head to Gettysburg, PA. The whole way there we hit traffic, storms, and the kids cried they had ear infections from swimming too much. It was torture but we got there, and I picked the first crappy motel I saw to stay in, which happened to be across from a cemetery. After a hour being there, the kids were spooked in our room, thinking they saw shadows on the wall. We then took a ghost tour around downtown which was awesome. I rode in a wheelchair, lucky me. Then later that night, Clark and my mother in-law saw a ghost through the peep hole of their room.
8th Day: Did not get much sleep. My in-laws and Jason went to check out the graves and then we did some other stuff. But mostly we had a long drive to Niagara Falls, NY. We were all tired, and we arrived around 10:30 pm. and went straight to the falls to see if they were lit. There was a lot of people, out so late at night. We got to the railings, fireworks went off. It was beautiful. The falls were rainbow lit. Then I ask if they wanted to stay until tomorrow to do a boat ride but everyone was too tired. So then we headed towards Palmyra. And got another crappy hotel room.
9th Day: It rained and rained. BUT we were bound and determined to see everything. So we arrived at the Visitor's center near town, and Clark got lost for twenty minutes outside in the rain. Then we went to the grove and toured the homes and went on the trail in the pouring rain. Even I did. I wanted to stay in the car. But the center had a scooter, so I went out through the puddles with Viv on my lap driving, in the pouring rain. We were soaked but we managed to check out the bookstore and at that moment, it was a rush to hurry home so we did not have to get another hotel room. We arrived home almost 2 am. Just so we could get ready to go to church the next day.
The went home on the 11th day and but I missed them already. Inspite of my accident it went well I think.
