Colonial waterslides

On Friday afternoon the kids were constructing pyramids and writing hieroglyphics from ancient Egypt. By Monday we had time-traveled to a Powhatan Indian village and Jamestown, where the first settlers landed in 1607 (way before those credit-hogging Pilgrims). Tuesday morning found us scooting down decidedly modern waterslides, and Tuesday afternoon we had skipped back to the 1700s in colonial Williamsburg. I vacillate between thinking that the kids will someday have an in-depth appreciation of history and thinking that they're going to expect to see King Tut at Jamestown.

At any rate, we had fun on our mini-vacation! And now that we're back, it's on to a study of Victorian houses.
