Yesterday we went to Jamestown for a field trip. It was a really nice day to go and we had such a good time. The only disappointment was that the kids wanted to see the remains of Jamestown Jane and I think that was in a different part than the Jamestown settlement where we spent most of our day.

The museum was great and we watched a few videos and walked all over. It was so peaceful there that my friend and I both said we could live in the fort and be very content. After walking most of the day and seeing everything the kids wanted see we went to the gift shop where they spent a good 30-40 minutes deciding what they would buy. It was a really good day and we are planning on going to Williamsburg next.

I still have Bald Head pictures I plan to post, but I really wanted to get up our pictures of yesterday before I got too lazy to get it done. I’m trying to get back to getting things posted especially since Aria said she’s not in our blog books very much. That is mainly because I have slowed down so much lately, but I do want Aria to have the same enjoyment looking at our blog books as the other girls do so I’m going to try to do better.

Well, after adding my pictures I see something happened and pictures I didn’t even intend to post came up. I have had computer problems all day today. I can’t seem to get things right so I can blog easily again. But, I am leaving the pictures as I don’t have the energy to go back and find the correct pictures and get them loaded. I had too much trouble already today trying to get that done. Maybe I will do that tomorrow.

Bald Head Island

I’m finally back again. It was hard on all of us when my mom passed away and we all needed some time. We are finally feeling a little more like doing things and I think I’m back to blog a little. My daughter, Megan, thought it would be good for me to get away with a few of the girls so she invited us to go to Bald Head Island with her a few weeks ago. It was such a nice get away and we all had such a good time and really relaxed.

Bethany and Tess rode bikes all over the island all day long. Sarah and I walked and walked. We went to the little shops and the market and Old Baldy. It was beautiful walking along the quiet roads, and so nice that there were no cars there – just golf carts. That makes walking a lot nicer. We all went to the ice cream shop and Mike’s Bites, and a lot of other little shops. Aria went bike riding with Megan and her kids a lot and we all went to the beach.

We spent several days at the beach – though it was really too cold to get in the water. That didn’t seem to stop Sarah who ran over and sat in the sand and the next thing we knew she was soaking wet. She didn’t mind one bit – she actally was laughing like crazy. She was having so much fun. She didn’t even care that it was so cold, but I did. I finally made her wrap up in a blanket and warm up some.

It was a very relaxing week and we got home in time for Easter Sunday, and not only had my good griend helped at my house while we were gone, but I came home to find that her husband had fixed my cabinet and put in a brand new thermostat for our upstairs heat pump. What good friends I have. Because of them I didn’t worry about a thing when I was gone.

I will probably put up more pictures from Bald Head again as I have many I want to have on my blog so we can look though our blog book one day and remember.
