We started our vacation with a visit to DC to see a photo exhibit. Meandered through looking at some of our favorites and took some time to goof.
 |
Me and my baby. |
From there we headed out of town for Wilderness with a little stop by Effie's for some ice cream.
We arrived at our cabin. The wildlife was up close and personal.
 |
Next time we are going with Cabin 6. |
 |
And the goofy behavior begins. |
 |
Our first wildlife visitor. |
 |
She was quiet the beggar. The neighbors brought nuts so she only visited with us once. |
 |
No internet- had to resort to good old fashion fun. |
We had a family of swans- mom, dad, and two babies. They would come for a visit daily.
 |
The babies where just a little smaller with lighter masks and greyish feathers. |
 |
Only had one climb on shore and hiss at me once. Mike saved me by leading it away. |
 |
They walked like their feet were totally foriegn to them. Stomping feet. |
We also had some visitors that were much smaller.
Visiting some of our favorite parts. Starting with the suspension bridge and some fishing.
 |
Hannah was the power behind our boat. Lucky for us there were no other boats out for her to run into. |
 |
She rowed for a hot second. |
 |
Hannah caught herself a few fish. |
Also enjoyed the pool- not a lot of pictures because we were all wet.
Then off to Virginia Beach for some 20th Anniversary reminiscing and beach time.
 |
Emilia's little nest. |
 |
Genevieve loved being in the water. The life gaurd needed to call her in at one point. She is a fish. |
 |
My spunky girl. |
 |
And the wildlife. |
 |
I think Mike could have stood there for hours. |
Then there were quiet moments.
 |
Morning cuddles. |
 |
My baby. |
And more...
 |
Got his full wilderness man on. |
 |
Gotcha. |
 |
I can't remember who took this. Love it. |
And then we packed up to go home.
 |
The girls did a great job loading the car to head home. I think they were excited to get back to internet access. |
It was a wonderful week. It was a little hard coming home. Now we are gearing up for the first day of school. Kids are in bed. Alarm is set. Tomorrow is a new and wonderful day.
