And now we move on to Williamsburg, VA, one of Daddy's favorite places to visit. Here's the new Yankee Candle store



Lots of holiday theming and cool things to buy



The sky was lit up with "stars" and there's even a train track up there, but it wasn't running, bummer!



Sneaking a photo in Santa's Workshop



Santa was a away for lunch I guess, but let's see who he was checking up on..



Why it's Jared, and he's on the good list, sweet!



A shot down Main Street inside Yankee Candle



Then the family visited Jamestowne Settlement. Here are the Powhatan indian huts



Inside were beds, tools and furs of all kinds



And some leather being dried for tanning



Here's a shot of the fort



And of the ships that brought over the first settlers to America. This is the Susan Constant



And here is the Discovery and the Godspeed behind it



Another shot of the Susan Constant, this time of the stern



Jared gazing across the James River from the stern of the Godspeed



And here's a view off the stern of the Susan Constant



In the crew quarters of the Susan Constant



The family in front of one of the defense cannons for the fort



A building under construction



Inside the church, with nice and comfortable solid wood padding-less benches



Mama and Jared giving a sermon to the church



Watching the blacksmith stoke the fire



And here we have Jared spending some quality Daddy-time visiting Colonial Williamsburg, one of Daddy's favorite places. This is in front of the Bruton Parish church



So yeah, the Bruton Parish church



Here's a shot of the boy in front of the governor's palace



And a loooooonnnnngggg shot in front of the governor's palace



In front of the heavily-defended magazine, where they stored all the gunpowder for the town



Here's a British general coming down the street to greet us loyalists. Ha, loyalists, just you wait sir!



And now back in Michigan, visiting Calder's Dairy, a local farm, with chickens!



Jared watching the cows going in to get milked, mmmm muddy



Here's a mama cow and her new baby, born just the day before!



Jared's a bit hesitant with horses, but cows don't seem to phase him much at all



Moooooooooooooo!



Here's a family of ducks looking for some loose corn



Don't give me any bull



And here's something you don't see every day, an emu



Here's a donkey coming over to be petted



And here's Mama and Jared feeding a friendly goose



He really was friendly, many times geese will be a bit aggressive, especially when you have some corn to feed them



Honk!
