Virginia

Our first full Saturday in DC.

We decided to go to a colonial farm. The people dress and act like they are in the 18th century. That day they were having a market fair. We got to see sheep shearing, a potter, a blacksmith, a puppet show, and lots of other things. And we got to eat a yummy lunch.

This was a little house where some ladies were sewing and baking bread.
Rhon and Dare got to learn how to use a sword.
Some kid games. This was right before G decided to pull his pants down and pee right there in the grass. At least it wasn't in his pants? Maybe?
This is Signora Bella. She juggled and did other tricks. B.A. was a volunteer. She had them bow at the end, and I was impressed at B.A.'s elegant curtsy. Who taught her how to do that?

After that we decided to go to the Natural History Museum. After driving around for hours (not really), we found a parking spot. We thought it was cool to see our car in front of the Washington Monument.
