Saturday morning we loaded up the van to head home. The kids thought our vacation was "over" and were a bit on the sad side of life. Then they realized that we were not driving on the road we should have been to go home. They perked up and started wondering where Dad was taking them. Soon they saw it...the ferry! We found a way to go home by was of the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry. They had never riden a ferry that transported our van as well. It was exciting to say the least!
Looking over the rail for Jamestown.
While we were crossing the river, B started acting like he was shooing at the British. (Yeh, I know. Wrong century for Jamestown. But fun just the same for a 6 year old boy.) After he had "shot down" quite a few British soldiers, the couple standing next to us started laughing. We quickly learned that they were visiting our wonderful country from Great Britain! We all had a good laugh at that point. They were quite appreciative to B for not shooting them. :)
The ferry going the opposite way as us.
Once the ferry ride ended, we settled in for the three hour ride home. Familiar sights were not far away and the kids began to look forward to sleeping in their own beds that night.
By the time bedtime rolled around, the van was unloaded and all the suitcases were unpacked!
We had sweet dreams of a WONDERFUL vacation in Williamsburg, VA and neighboring towns. We are thankful for the men and women who journeyed here centuries ago. We are thankful for each other, and for Jane and Laura who shared our journey with us.
And we are thankful to GOD for giving us this great country,
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
