Our Virginia Vacation!













We are home and had a great time! Jonathan did so good with a lot of help from my mom and dad. He was happy the whole time actually not until the day before we were going to leave did he get a little fussy. We took the in laws motor home so that was a treat, Jonathan sat right in front of a window so that kept him entertained through most of the trip. When we got to my aunt and uncles home it was about 65 degrees a lot warmer that when we left our home at 40 degrees. Jonathan absolutely hammed it up with everyone he giggled and showed off his kicking techniques. He loved my aunt holding him this was actually the first time in a long winter hibernation that someone other than mom, dad and grandparents held him on the other hand he loved my uncle from anyone elses arms he just wasn't so sure about uncle Dave holding him (he does love you though uncle Dave:)) We went to Washington D.C where Jonathan "walked" a lot in central park, we seen the white house the capital building, the pentagon, the Washington monument, and even walked around the largest seafood barge Justin and my dad enjoyed that not so much myself and mom it was a bit stinky! We went on lots of drives and went to a beach called Colonial beach Justin really liked this because when you enter the town it says "you are now entering a golf cart community" and they weren't joking there were lifted golf carts everywhere! Jonathan slept through most of that trip. Then we went to downtown Fredericksburg that was interesting but what I thought was the coolest was the caverns I really didn't know how Jonathan would take this because of the elevation and his lungs, well I guess I worry a bit much because he was perfectly fine!
Then we drove through Shenandoah National park that was breathtaking surprisingly the deer there are not afraid of you and come right up to you we did stay in our car for that! Jonathan for the most part was vomit free except when Justin had him try cocktail sauce errr! Then it was time to leave and we had to leave a day early because an unexpected SNOW storm was coming to Michigan and that is what Justin does, snow removal! Do you know how depressing it is to leave 65-75 degree weather, the day we left people were mowing their grass!!! We did make it home just in time for the big snow storm but because we had to cut our trip short we will have to go on another!!! Thank you so much for everything uncle Dave, aunt Carole and Kenny we had a great time!!


P.s If anybody here in Michigan wants to try the best burger around go to 5 guys burger and fries, we went in Virginia and we are all hooked, theres a couple here too
