We had a lot of slow mornings eating breakfast and just visiting. Thankfully Eric was able to do some teleworking and got to stay home a lot of the time they were here.
For his birthday this year, he really wanted a Costco cake (he developed a love for them at his previous job when they would celebrate monthly birthdays). Obviously, Costco does everything in bulk - so it was a very large cake.
But Eric was thrilled and over the course of his parents' visit, we were able to put a good dent in it.
We played lots of games at night.
We did the Yorktown Battlefield Auto Tour. It weaves in and out of the British and Allied lines during the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. This family of history buffs enjoyed every minute of it.
Afterwards we went to the waterfront to get lunch.
On Sunday, Katie and Chris were nice enough to invite us all over for the Redskins/Cowboys game on Jane's birthday. Benny's parents absolutely love getting a chance to see the kids so they were thrilled. Happy birthday Jane!!
On our last full day we went to Jamestown Settlement which was a first for Eric and I.
It was such a beautiful day, we especially loved the Archaearium (of which I didn't get any pictures).
We were also mesmerized by watching the glass blowers. It was a hot day - I did not envy them!
All in all it was a wonderful visit and was so nice to have some family around to help celebrate Eric's birthday. He's one amazing guy. Thank you for coming!!
Happy birthday Eric! So nice your parents were able to come celebrate with you!
