[Visiting Williamsburg in 2004 with 18-month-old Alexandra.]
Once we got the official go-ahead to bring Elisabeth to Duke University on May 3rd, I immediately went online to buy airline tickets. Now, as you can imagine, airfare for 5 does not come cheap. So....I thought that perhaps we should make our cross-country getaway into more of a mini-vacation. Get more for the money, you know what I mean?
When we were originally going to go [back on March 8th] we literally had plans to fly there one day, go to the hospital with Elisabeth the next, and fly home the 3rd. What a whirlwind trip that would have been!
But this time around we have decided to take a few extra days and go visit colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. Donald and I vacationed there back in 2004 (when I was pregnant with Lorelai). We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and are excited to go back. Plus, we feel that Alexandra and Lorelai are at a perfect age to really appreciate taking a 'step back in time'.
Williamsburg, here we come! [again]
