On the road again...we started our trip bright and early this morning. Our first stop today was Williamsburg. Williamsburg was the capitol of Virginia during the 1700s. While there we shopped, learned and laughed. Many of our laughs involved the re-inactors. For example, a group of girls were talking to the soldiers and they told us that when they came over to America on the Porpoise, Andera said, "like a whale, right?" The soldiers also told her she would make a good wife "because she can't read or write." Then some of us tried to teach the soldiers the "Soulja Boy" dance.
We had many other blond moments as well. Shannon saw the wooden barricades and asked if they were old school bike racks. Hope listened to Jared when he told her to sample the 1600s ketchup which was actually hot sauce. Hope also said she would give Lane to the British soldiers in exchange for a picture with her.
After we left Williamsburg, we headed toward what we thought was the motel. Little did we know, Marietta had something different in mind...a surprise! WE WENT TO VIRGINIA BEACH!! Many people jumped into the ocean fully clothed. Some took pictures with the lifeguard. :)
Tonight we stayed in a 2 day old hotel in Gloucester. Jennifer, one of our sponsors, almost burned it down when she put her laptop on the bed. The feathers got a little too hot!! Each day on the road is getting better and better. We can't wait to see what comes next.
