"There is nothing more pleasant than cruising on a boat with the whole family."

Waking up in Hampton, Virginia


We slept for 8 solid hours. Waking up at 7:30, we loaded Dennis in the car (oh yes, Roger's college roommate and his beautiful bride loaned us their car for the duration of our stay here. They live in Williamsburg, an hour away, and drove here last night with two cars and left us one. Friends indeed!) and after fumbling our way around, found the Amtrak station in Newport News. We are now on our own. It feels like Daddy has left us kids to fend for ourselves...because he was SO helpful and wise and kind. We will miss him, but I feel excited to be on our own.
Roger wrote yesterday that a bird...a flicker, landed on our boat but he had left the cable to upload photos home. well, we found it and here is the flicker.
