On the drive south, we happened upon Columbus, Indiana. A small town with amazing art and architecture. I loved this sculpture in the median of a road.
Finding(!) the graves of my ancestors in Salyersville, Kentucky. 
Our first day in Gloucester, Virginia--the destination. The Battle of the Hook.
An old sign found lying on the grass out by the barn. "Tree Lodge"--Gram and Grandpa's house.
The kids greet the ocean for the first time, Virginia Beach. I could just feel the awe coming off them.
And this one of Elijah, just because it's so cool.
Uncle Paul's house in Matthews, Virginia--"Folly Farm". People in Virginia tend to name their "estates". Uncle Paul bought Folly Farm a few years back and is working to restore the old house. You just don't get that Colonial feel here in Minnesota.
The kids eye their first blue crab, caught off Grandpa's pier. Probably the last batch of the season. They and I enjoyed our first lesson in crab anatomy and eating from Daddy, Grandpa and Grandma. Yummy!
The blacksmith at the Jamestown Settlement.
Rose with her cousin Caroline, along with Grandma and Grandpa in the dining room.
We had a great trip!
