~A Visit from Grammy~

My Mom came out from Las Vegas to visit us for a week.  We loved having her here.  I have to admit I am a bit selfish with my Mom...I planned her visit when the kids were in school so we could shop and do all the fun things Mom's and daughters like to do!  We just made sure to be home in time for the kids to come home from school.  The weather was perfect and we spent a lot of time sitting on the front porch watching the kids, and the pup playing.

Of course living here in Virginia there is plenty of things to do and see.  One of our visits was to Colonial Williamsburg.  You just can't get enough of the history around here!

I love how there are people walking the streets in their period clothing.  I think this lady might of been a little peeved I was taking her picture???

The gardens this time of year where beautiful!

My Mom is an avid reader...in fact while she was here, she read something like 8 books.  Her kindle died and she forgot to bring the charger, so she had go buy a few more books.  I think her granddaughter might be just like her...

Maddie constantly has a book in her hand!

Me, on the other hand...I just read on my phone...

The last day Mom was here Langley AFB had an air show.  The weather changed that day and it was a bit chilly and rainy.  Thankfully, it cleared up enough that we didn't get soaked.
