Colonial Williamsburg & Neptune Festival

So this weekend we went to Colonial Williamsburg. Its where they reenact the Colonial times before the start of the Revolutionary War. Its was my idea, not Melanie's, but she was happy to come along (its kind of like if she drags me to an art museum.) They have a lot of shops to go in and places that show trades of 300 years ago like the blacksmith, gunsmith, silversmith, shoe maker, etc.

At night we went to Virginia Beach where we saw some awesome fireworks and sand sculptures. Both were the best we have ever seen. Its amazing what people can do with sand and what they can go with explosives. Exploding sand sculptures would have been cool too. It was also nice having the boardwalk to do our 7 mile run on. We're more than half way to 13.1 miles in November!!

Its been so nice to spend time together on the weekends not having to work and do stuff around the house. I don't know how I will ever go back to working weekends :)
