May and June happenings!

So to finally catch up, I'm doing several months together and mainly pictures of the main events of those months. May and June were very, very busy....a trip to West Virginia, DC and Williamsburg with my sisters which included a trip to see Eric, Joy and kids, a grandson born in Vegas (see previous post), watching grandkids for a week here while Jason and Lacey went home hunting in California, a trip to Nevada to see Matthew,Katie, boys and see new little Sawyer, and then back for a while before going to Utah and helping Stephanie, Brett and family move here. What is interesting is that we had all four of our children and their families change addresses and zipcodes in the last three months. It sure is keeping us on our toes, to say the least....have to always think before calling them...what time zone do they live in~ and what time is it there!

 

Trip to West Virginia/DC/Williamsburg with Sisters

I met my sisters in Morgantown WV for the graduation of a great niece with her PhD from West Virginia University.  We then traveled to DC and Williamsburg and back to West Virginia via Eric's home in Lewisburg.



 

Tour of the capitol building.

 

I loved the artwork inside the capitol building.

 

 

Lincoln Memorial

 

 

Williamsburg ~ Love that place!

 We were there for their Salute to the Nation.

There was about ten or more Fife and Drum Units that

performed with a night grand review and fireworks!

 

 

Jamestown and Yorktown

 

We went to Yorktown and saw the graves of our ancestors that helped found Yorktown.  I was so excited because I had found out right before we left for DC/Williamsburg area that we had a connection with Yorktown and Williamsburg.  Coincentally, I recently found out that Rick's ancestors help establish Jamestown.  Cool Connections!

 



 

The Prestwich Manor ~ Agecroft Hall

This English tudor home was once the Prestwich Manor in

England.  It was bought, taken down piece by piece, shipped to

America and rebuilt in Richmond VA.  Very cool to walk the

ancient halls that my ancestors walked in England. 

 The Gardens at Agecroft Hall

 

We were only able to visit with Eric, Joy and family for one day so I was glad that I had been able to visit them earlier in March for a week (see March/April post).  I didn't get many pics in the short time we were there.

 

 

 

 Lewisburg Civil War Reenactment happened to be the afternoon we

were there. 

 

Visiting Matthew and Katie in Nevada. 

I was able to go see Baby Sawyer after I came back from DC/Williamsburg (see previous post).

While there we went on a picnic up the canyon for Memorial Day.  Boy was it

hot!!!  The boys sure loved all the rocks, though! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Watching Jason and Lacey's children for a week kept us (me~ I should say~Rick worked

most of the time) pretty busy!  We had a lot of fun visiting places and doing things together.
