Some more pics from our Norfolk time

While visiting in Norfolk, we got the chance to visit the Virginia Aquarium in VA Beach and to see old Williamsburg. It was quite cold in both places, but the skies were clear and sunny. We continue to marvel at the many opportunities we have to see great sites and attractions. I hope the trip to Williamsburg boosted Maddie's knowledge of American history. She can tell you who the chancellor of Germany and the Queen of England are, but is a little fuzzy on Abe Lincoln and George Washington.




Skip and Maddie at the Viriginia Aquarium. There was a nature trail in between the two exhibit halls.







The Bruton Parish Church at Williamsburg. It's been a house of worship for over 300 years. They have 2000 members, but only have seating for 400, so they have 4 services a day.




Maddie and Uncle Brian test out old-time punishments




Maddie in front of the College of William and Mary. Our hotel was across the street from Old Dominion University, and for whatever reason, Maddie has decided that she will be attending college in Virginia. We told her that could work out well since there were so many colleges to choose from. Then she talked about how we'll all move to Virginia when she goes to college. Not sure that she's totally clear on the concept, yet.



Maddie doesn't hesitate to pet one of the horses on the Williamsburg property



Here is the view of Ann and Brian's Christmas tree from the outside. Ann's mom and dad put it up while they were at the hospital having the baby and Dr. Corcoran made sure that the tree looked as nice on the window side as it did on inside. Curb appeal is important in a Christmas tree.
