This trip to Williamsburg is actually
the first Nguyen family vacation! We chose Colonial Williamsburg in
Virginia for it's short drive and Erica's familiarity and fondness for the
place. She's been coming here regularly since she was a baby!
It was a great success, and there's
something for everyone here... it's taken half a dozen trips, but it's even
growing on me.
Here's a panoramic I made of the Governor's Palace from the lawn
Here's a panorama of the Duke of Gloucester Street

They just don't make trees like they used to anymore
She's not so sure about something. Not sure what.
Posing in the garden walkway
OMG! Tulips EVERYWHERE!
Tess sized door
She spent hours in the garden maze
She looks sad, but she's not. She had to hold still for the extended
exposure shots.
I could just pop that nose right off and eat it. Just kidding...
