Our family embarked a trip to visit Virginia's Historic Triangle (Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown) and participate in Vision Forum's Jamestown Quadricentennial, celebrating the 400th Anniversary of the establishment of the first English Settlement in America. We also participated in a treasure hunt, designed to teach God's Providential Hand in America's History while searching for clues related to the hunt's story and our country's history. It was a fantastic experience.
Thursday June 7th We drove to Indianapolis, Indiana and stayed in one of the best Bed & Breakfasts east of the Mississippi -- our dear friends the Nails. (Six hour drive)
Friday June 8th We drove to our oldest daughter Amy and her husband Nate Hobbs in State College, Penns. (12 hour drive)
Saturday June 9th We spent the day finishing our costumes and enjoying Pennsylvania.
Sunday June 10th We went to church at Faith Baptist Church with Amy and Nate. The teaching, singing and fellowship were all excellent. We were blessed to be able to stay for the church picnic afterwards and enjoyed meeting many lovely families. We then packed up, borrowed Amy from Nate for the week and drove to Virginia. (8 hour drive) We got in rather late, and found ourselves setting up camp in the dark.
Monday June 11th This is our clan, in Colonial Williamsburg. This was the last we were to be "just tourists" for a while. We had a great time and learned lots (although we were soon to find that we hadn't learned as much as we should have.) Thanks so much to all the fellow treasure hunters who arranged the fantastic group rate.
