Sunday morning Chris and I decided to pack up the kids and go on vacation.
Didn't need luggage.
Didn't need a map.
We only drove an hour away (which turned into two because of traffic) to Williamsburg, Va.
Chris and I have been there numerous times....most of which were on school fieldtrips...which I thought were boooooring...and he thought were awwwesome.
We skipped Jamestown and Yorktown (if you've seen one cannonball pile...you've seen them all) and went straight to what really matters.
THE OUTLETS!
We ate and walked and shopped and walked and snacked (the Chocolate Feactory) and shopped and walked and shopped and so on and so on.
The boys didn't mind much as they had a KB toy outlet and a sporting goods outlet too.
We left there with chocolate dipped marshmallows, Stuff from the Reebok store, Gap, KB Toys, Tommy Hilfiger and Nike.
The most fun we had was at this corny Trading Post store. It was 10,000 square ft of nonsense gifts and home decor. Corncob pipes, homemade fudge, plaques that read "beauty is in the eye of the beerholder", giant signs that said...REDNECK BLVD and MY OTHER CAR IS A TRACTOR, and a big wooden paddle that had "Who's your daddy?" painted on the front (which I refused to let Chris buy). We left there with poprocks, a musket cap gun, blinking Benjamin keychain and a Williamsburg magnet for the fridge.
"This was the best day ever"...was what Ben said on the drive home.
I don't think there was a moment of the day when we weren't laughing to the point of crying.

Of all the really expensive vacations you've taken, it's funny that Ben thought it was the best day ever.
Thanks, Chris, for my Grandma's Rules plaque.
Andrew and I spent our honeymoon in Williamsburg, VA. We definitely hit up those outlets, too!
sounds great!
The company makes all the difference!
