After Charleston we hit the road and headed towards Colonial Williamsburg. Bridget has gotten used to hanging out in her car seat for hours on end and is actually a really good road trip companion. Jason calls the car her "kryponite" as she usually falls asleep the instant we start the engine.
We really tried not to drive the same road twice so we opted to drive on a small single lane highway and catch a ferry to reach Williamsburg. It was B's first ferry and she loved it.
It was a little windy but B was just so happy not to be in her carseat that she didn't seem to mind.
One of the perks of taking the ferry is that we got to see a little of Jamestown. Founded in 1607, it was the first permanent English settlement in the US.
We really grew to love the Hampton Inn on this trip. They were really nice rooms with yummy hot breakfasts. Mmmm...turkey sausages, make your own waffles, home fries. Plus we could always get a really good deal on expedia. By the end of our trip I would scroll down the list of hotels in the AAA book and pick out the Hampton Inn. So I was really excited to see a Hampton in the Williamsburg historic district. As a rule, we would never book a hotel for 2 nights in a row just to keep our plans flexible and just in case it was a total dive. In Williamsburg, we walked into our room and immediately got on to expedia to book a 2nd night. Then we went to dinner at the Jamestown Pie Company because "Round Food is Good Food". We had chicken pot pies, cherry pie and key lime pie. Yum!
That night we took Bridget swimming for the very first time and she loved it!! The water was pretty cold but she didn't even care. She loves the water!
The only person who had more fun than B was Jason. He was so excited to have someone to play with, which worked for me. I got to relax in the hot tub and watch Bridget laugh while he played in the cold water.

I LOVE that picture B with the wind in her hair. He facial expression is so funny.
Also love the first pic where her little toes are in the bottom of the pic.
I can't believe that she has never gone swimming before.
I'm living through you right now Kate. I've ALWAYS wanted to go to the south (well, especially after reading Gone with the Wind). I also loved having just one kid because you can do lots of stuff still with not too much difficulty. Enjoy it!
