Chincoteague Island
We spent 3 nights on this island which is known for its wild ponies. We went for a hike through the National Wildlife Refuge and saw ponies, took a bus tour and saw ponies and then took a pontoon ride and saw ponies. Lots of ponies! We also saw tons of different birds, fox squirrels, deer, and a snake. There is a beautiful beach on the island that we took Jackson to in the evening so he could dip his toes in the ocean for the first time. The boat ride was also his first - he didn't seem to mind the breeze through his hair and eventually fell asleep. Our ride was cut short by a pretty spectacular lightning show.
Virginia Beach
After crossing a 20 mile bridge that made my toes curl, we spent a few hours checking out Virginia Beach. We didn't have high expectations, but it was actually pretty nice. We walked the boardwalk, had lunch and then jumped back in the car.
Williamsburg
We spent 2 nights here and boy was it hot. On Saturday, the high was 105. We went to historic Williamsburg in the morning before it got too hot. We spent about 4 hours taking in the village and seeing historical characters portray life back in the good old days.

Jamestown
We stopped here on Sunday on our way to Richmond. The heat kept us from seeing everything, but it was such a fascinating stop, especially because it is an active archeological site. Hard to imagine what life was like back in 1607!
Richmond
Our last stop was Richmond to see our friends Lauren and Roger. We had dinner with them and unfortunately I didn't take a single picture. Boo!
