One exhausted kiddo on the way home!After eating pancakes at the local pancake house in Williamsburg, we headed to the living history museum: Jamestown Settlement. It is a 30,000 square foot living-history museum located a few miles from historical Jamestown. It was built in 2007 in celebration of Jamestown's 400 year birthday. It has a theater, hands-on museum, Powhatan Indian village, 3 replicas of the 3 ships that carried the settlers across the ocean, and James Fort as it would have looked 4oo years ago. It was a lot of fun and we ended up staying there a lot longer than we had anticipated. Definitely a must-see if you ever visit the Williamsburg area.We definitely had some tired kiddos (and big kids!) at the end of the weekend, but it was so worth it!

Oh your the best teacher ever!!! looks like you all had a great time! I love Sarah's hair!!!!
How awesome! I went to Jamestown right after I graduated from college and kept thinking how I'd love to bring my kids there (and to Williamsburg) someday. You'll have to show them the Taliafero-Cole house in Williamsburg next time! You're doing such an amazing job on the homeschooling!
