We were truly blessed with a visit from Mom and Dad Hinton back in July. Dad came out for a conference for work so we could have some adventures with them too!! As you can see they fit right in and we're glad they felt so at home!
We went down to Monticello for a day which was a great trip! It was fun to walk around the gardens and see all that Jefferson did. It is a cool house!!
For our next trip we went up to Gettysburg which is fabulous since we were able to have our own Civil War expert with us on the trip. Driving up we kept asking dad "there was another plaque, who was that? Or what battle was that? What happened here?"
Dustin and his classic picture with a cannon.
The site of Little Round Top where the 21st Maine held their ground (correct me if I'm wrong)! We took the car tour where you drive while listening to a CD that explains the sites of the battle, etc. It was really well done and very good. We highly recommend it!
Then dad left mom with us for a few days while he went to the conference and we got to play together which was great also. She was very willing to play games and join in with us while we watched movies or played on our laptops.
We're glad for their visit! And it is the best way to get us out of the house and see the things that are around here. I'd never been to Gettysburg and Dustin had never been to Monticello so it worked our really great for us! So feel free to come visit, it gets us out!
You're very tricky with the camera! :) So involved with Ticket to Ride that I didn't even notice...I should have been more careful! But it truly was a fun time for us--even if it does look like we spent more time on our phones and laptops than being good guests.
