I was at a US History conference (at our local college) for most of last week and just completely forgot. But I am back with a photograph that we have in the breakfast room that just makes me smile every time I see it. And how fitting... as the conference was about Colonial America and our founding fathers!
My BFF lives in Williamsburg, and this picture was taken four years ago when I took Sumter and Jackson up to visit her and her sons (Sumter's oldest best friend and his younger brother - my godchild). We had spent the day at Jamestown and Yorktown, and the expressions on their faces epitomize the fun we had: carving out canoes with oyster shells, exploring replicas of the ships that made the voyage across the Atlantic, and visiting the Revolutionary War camp. What handsome - and inspirational - little patriots!
