May 9 to 14, 2009: Winston had a business trip to Langley Research Center. Megan and Julie came along and we also extended the trip over the Mother's Day weekend, and visited with Joe and Kat, and Dawn. We also visited Yorktown Battlefield and Historic Yorktown and took lots of pictures of Signs. Julie and Megan visited Virginia Living Museum and Sandy Bottom Nature Park, while Winston was at his meeting. And we got to spend some time in the Airports waiting and standing by for our flights.
This page has the photos from Historic Yorktown and Yorktown Battlefield, part of the Colonial National Historical Park. It was overcast, and cool, and incredibly facinating.
