Energizer bunny

Benjamin seems to do some much better for pictures if he is allowed to run.  He didn't want to pose for group family pictures on Easter, but we got some good smiles from him after he was allowed to run free.

He was in need of a haircut by that point.  He also had taken a recent spill and had a boo-boo on his head.  His shoes that I got to go with the suit didn't seem to fit well enough and kept flying off.  We went with the Crocs for the sake of safety.

Williamsburg: Day 1

Our first visit to Williamsburg was actually the night of the day we arrived.  After getting checked in we made a quick turnaround and went to Shield's Tavern for High Life Below the Stairs which was a dinner show.

Benjamin didn't stay in his chair for long unfortunately  My camera makes it look much brighter in there than it was for the entire dinner and show.  He decided to stay in mine or Josh's lap for most of the evening.
  
The actors and actresses walked around during their performance, and they would talk to people in the audience (in between lines) while in character.





They were available outside for pictures afterwards.
 

We took a bathroom break and then waited around for a ghost tour.  It was a bit of a mistake to plan an evening that required Benjamin to be still and relatively quiet after he had traveled several hours in the car.  He was pretty good considering the circumstances.

The ghost tour was a nice was to start out at Williamsburg as we went around with a group and a guide and she told us stories. 




 Benjamin didn't care for it. lol



we took turns entertaining him.






My two men. :)


After all of that fun we went to a local grocery store and stocked up for the week (since we had a room with kitchen and fridge).  Benjamin's favorite thing of the night, and one of his favorite words for the week: bench.
