We took the longest drive of the trip today, and just arrived at the campground here in Williamsburg, Virginia. We're really looking forward to visiting the Colonial Williamsburg area and learning more about the lives of those that started this country. We expect it will be a little more exciting for the girls than Charleston, and more educational because of it.

Update:

We had a great time at Colonial Williamsburg, and we all learned a lot. The town itself offers an outstanding view of what life was like when our Founding Fathers walked the streets and occupied its buildings. It was pretty amazing to think that we were walking the same steps that men like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson walked.

A couple of highlights were the seeing re-enactments of key events leading up to the Revolutionary War, seeing how it all came to pass, and also the buildings like the Governor's Mansion and Payton Randolph house.

Something completely unexpected that happened was that the Today Show was filming a segment from Williamsburg. We had an opportunity to see Al Roker and Matt Lauer, and we were surprised to see Matt Lauer come over to where we were standing (a bit out of the way) and shake our hands. He seemed like a great guy, and pretty generous with his time. It was neat for all of us to see this backstage type scene on how the show is filmed.

The girls will have more to add to this. We've had several packed days, so I'll keep my entry brief. More to follow soon.
