Day 6:
We had a special treat of having The Today Show filmed right in Williamsburg! Carol told me about it while we were driving down (although thankfully we looked up the info, or else we would have been hanging out a few days too early!) We had to wake Melody up to get there for 7:00, and even Nana & Grandpa were up in time! Unfortunately, the entire campus of William & Mary were also there, so we didn't really get very close to anyone. Matt Lauer did come close to where we were, but I didn't' want to push people out of my way with a toddler on my shoulders. Melody did wave and say "Hi Matt Lauer" when he came around, whether he saw her or not, I have no idea. I'll tell her he did when she gets bigger though.
We had to make a sign!
Poor Rob & Melody were not very thrilled about being up and about so early.
Here we are when Matt came closer to us. Nana's holding up our sign and Melly's on my shoulders on the right side of the picture.
Since we were up and about so early, we walked around the town of Williamsburg. Whenever you walk through the streets, you always have to be mindful of the horse droppings that end up there. They try to keep the town authentic, and apparently colonial people had an issue with horse poop. I remind Melody to look out for it, and not step in it. She does a fantastic job of that, but then yells at everyone she sees to not step in the poop. I had her on my shoulders later on, and there was a wet spot on the ground. Could have been from a horse, could have been a spilled soda. Who knows. But, Melly yells from on top of my shoulders, "Mommy, that horsie pissed on the ground!"
After Williamsburg, we drove to Jamestown. I don't want to down play all of that, but we've done it a bundle of times. It's still enjoyable, and I'm always amazed at how much history is right there. The start of our country as we know it is in Williamsburg. If anyone has never been there, it's a great place to go.
