Deskins Family

 We were so excited to have family come out to visit.
We went and explored a park, saw fish in a pond and took a break from the heat in the trees.

 We had to hit the beach as soon as school was out. 

It was a beautiful day and one of our last with our dear friends before them moved.

Me and light houses. We had to have a family pic.

Tradition holds they get a large cookie the last day of school for their after school snack!

 A trip to Yorktown was complete with a musket demonstration, some of our own reenactments of how to soldiers slept in tents, the way to hold a gun and learning how they took out teeth.

And of course we would have to stop at a chocolate shop!  Great cookies!!!

 While in Williamsburg, we spent a day down in Norfolk.  We visited the Nauticus museum.  Our favorite part was touring the Battleship Wisconsin.  IT WAS SO ENORMOUS and absolutely amazing!

Allison's school picked a few art pieces to showcase at the local high school, including hers. 

Ok, this is a little late, but during our Virginia trip last spring we stopped at one more place. Does it surprise you?

Not just for the retired crowd.

 This is the oldest college building in America. A treat for dad.

Our own little soliders!

Yep, he's already gotta take care of that beard.

A cool place from Virginia.
