Hello from WIlliamsburg, VA!

We're on our spring break vacation to Williamsburg, but I thought I'd take this opportunity to update the blog. I want to do this each night so I don't forget all the things we do!! :) After a very long drive and a night in Wilmington, we made our way to visit with some of Noah's family for a few hours. We got to catch up with Noah's aunts, Grandma Rose, and cousins...Emma certainly was on her toes chasing after Zoe and "babysitting" for us. :)

Then it was off to meet up with a mommy friend of mine from a mommy message board I belong to. Mary and her daughter Lilli were wonderful people. We met up at a local Burger King so that the kids could play in an enclosed play area. When they finally figured out how to climb up the net like ladder to go down the slide, they were in heaven!! The kids had such a good time, and Zoe hasn't stopped asking for Lilli! Too bad we don't live closer, I think the girls (and Mary and I) would have had fun getting together more often!

We pulled into our resort in Williamsburg. W.O.W. is all I can say. With our timeshare, we've been able to exchange it a number of times, but this is by far the best we've been in. It's quiet, very quiet, and you're hard up to see many other people walking around, even though the place is filled with cars. We're at a 2 bedroom suite with our own kitchen, a jetted tub, a gas fireplace, a private deck...so nice! Zoe has settled in quite nicely. She loves running down the hall into her "own room" and coming back out. We took it easy today..going to the grocery store, and just hanging in the suite. We took a walk down to a nearby play area with a single slide and 2 swings...just perfect for Zoe. She had a blast, and even went on the swing (and liked it). Tonight, Noah asked her if she had fun today, and with a giggly grin, Zoe said, "yeeeees". I asked her what her favorite part, and without missing a beat, she told us sliding down the slides. :)

Pics are coming as soon as Flickr finishes uploading!! There are a LOT!

This vacation has come at a perfect time. The last couple of weeks have been rough for us. Noah was sick, then Zoe got sick, and in that same time, my allergies just went into overdrive. Zoe had a high fever and was out of daycare for FOUR days because of the fever (no other real symptom...weird, because she was all over the place running around too!!). We took her to the dr, all the same, thinking it was an ear infection. He says to us that it was just a virus that had to work out of her system...just in time for the vacation! :)
