Trip out East - Day 7

Friday, June 26th I spent sleeping in and relaxing all morning. My friend Keri only had to work a half day, so she found me in my jammies and on facebook when she got home from work! :) We ate a quick lunch and then headed out to the beach for the afternoon.

Me catching some rays!

For dinner we went to Lazy Susan's Crabs. We had soft shell crab here.

This was a half order that Keri & I shared...we only ate half of it!
SO MUCH FOOD!

Trip out East - Day 6

My first full day in Delaware was relaxing and peaceful. Keri had to work at the hospital, so I didn't bother setting an alarm and slept until I woke up. I spent time reading and relaxing around the house. I then rode her bike to the market uptown and bought some groceries to make dinner that evening. After taking the groceries back to her house and grabbing some snacks for my lunch I rode her bike out to the beach...less than a mile away! I enjoyed the view for a while and then rode back to the little shopping area and spent a couple hours waling around the shops just looking mostly. Keri was home from work when I got back from my lovely afternoon in Lewes. We spent the evening chatting during dinner and a movie that we rented. It was a wonderful day!

Delicious fajitas that I made for dinner!

Trip out East - Day 5

Day 5 of the trip I parted ways with the Housholders. They went on to visit other friends in Virginia and I headed further east....to Delaware to visit Keri Swartzendruber, a friend who worked for me as an RA my second year at Goshen. She is a traveling nurse and ended up spending her summer in Lewes, DE and I went to see her for several days...

I looked for my Knight in Shining Armor along the way, but didn't find him in the Yankee Candle Store in Williamsburg. :{

On the way to Delaware I had to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. It is a 17 mile long bridge/tunnel structure...5 miles of bridge over water, 1 mile of tunnel under water, 5 more miles of bridge over water, another mile of tunnel under water, and 5 final miles over water.
This photo was taken at the gift shop/rest area on the bridge.

We ate dinner at Crabby Dick's of Delaware.

Here I am playing with my food! :)

I thought this hat was funny!

Keri was dismayed by this sign in the parking lot.

Trip out East - Day 4

Day 4 of our trip was also spent in Colonial Williamsburg. We toured the Governor's Palace, walked around town, went to an outdoor play, spent time in the hands on kid's area and watched the whistle & fife parade go through town. It was another fun and exhausting day! The kids were such amazing troopers through it all!

The Governor's Palace used a great deal of weaponry in it's decorating!

The kids enjoyed the maze in the backyard of the palace. Here is Marcus peeking through at me. Such a doll!

Kirsten & the kids pause for a photo in the garden.

I caused a little trouble and got myself handcuffed and...

thrown in JAIL! :)

Making myself at home in the kitchen of the kid's hands on area!

I looked quite at home, don't I!

The whistle & fife parade! Simon LOVED this!
