Thing 3: Photos and Images

I used to be a lot better at taking pictures every time that I was doing something, but over the last few years, I have not been as diligent in my picture taking. Usually I just take pictures now if I go on vacation or it is a holiday or some other special occasion.

This summer my Mom and I went on our annual 'Mother-Daughter Trip' and we spent a week in Virginia seeing all the historical sights. As a World Geography teacher, I love history and especially visiting all of the historical sights in the New England area.

 

The picture above is of my mom and I at the Williamsburg Winery a few minutes from Colonial Williamsburg. We were able to tour the winery and taste test six red and white wines. The winery was really interesting and they had a cute restaurant attached to the winery with local, farm fresh food. This is definitely a place I want to go back to when I'm in the area again!

 

 

The picture above is from when my mom and I were visiting Jamestown. We were able to see what the original settlement looked like as well as tour replicas of the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. In this picture we are on one of the ship replicas!

 



In the picture above, we are at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's house. His home was so unique compared to some of the the other historical houses that I have toured. He was a true renaissance man who took an interest in science, cartography, and numerous other ventures aside from politics. This picture is on the back lawn of his house when I was being attacked by a cicada. If you can't tell by my face, I clearly don't like bugs.

Although we spent a week in Virgina, I can't wait to go back and see some more of the sights!
