First stop DC. The boys went to the ball game. We went to the Smithsonian postal, history and air and space museum.
Next stop my Dad's house in New York. The best parts of our trip were just hanging with the fam. Owen won a blue ribbon at the family fun night ice cream eating contest. They got out all the old playmobil, but the favorite activity by far was wrestling with Uncle Mitchell and Rees.
We took a day trip to the beach. My mom was excited we went to Jones beach because this was the beach where she played when she was a kid. The water was crazy cold for our southern boys, but we had great fun in the sand and dipping our toes in.
We saw the Sosin's and my roommate Lisa and her hubby and daughter from my Brandeis days and all of the kids related. Owen particularly liked the terrace at Lisa's where you could see the Empire State Building.
Next Stop Jamestown in VA near Williamsburg where we saw forts, boats and armor. Owen was in heaven. He was very interested in the canon and talked a great deal with the reenactors about it.
Last stop before the road home was Yorktown. The boys loved this as well. Lot's of costumes, more canons and a turkey that Henry found quite interesting.
All in all it was a great journey. We are all really tired, but I am so glad we did it. I love travelling and it was great to see the boys be amazed by all these sights.
