So, I guess he will try to climb it!

Virginia Aquarium

We went to an Aquarium in Virginia Beach. It was interesting, too, to learn about what kind of sea life shows up in the atlantic ocean.

Fishy Faces

Mark and Dev checking out a Horseshoe Crab.

Al, looking at the biggest sea turtle we have ever seen!

Help! Shark!

Jamestown was very interesting! We got to see where some of the first colonists lived, and died, and where they first landed in America. It was cool to actually see where Pocahontas walked and saved John Smith from being executed by her father.

Monument to John Smith

Outside the Fort where the big ships came from and left to England.

Steffi, pretending to be Pocahontas.

Dev, chasing Virginia geese

So long, Jamestown!

Yum!

We found a fun "All You Can Eat Seafood Buffet" in Williamsburg. It was seriously the best food we have ever eaten!

Alex, enjoying the meal.

Steffi, wondering what to do with a crab leg!

There was a fun light show all along Virginia Beach. They gave us a CD of Christmas music at the beginning, and we listened as we drove along. It was really cool!
