Fifth graders go on a 5 day trip to Williamsburg, Va. Since Allen went to Space Camp with Carter on the 4th grade field trip, I got to go on this one. There were 19 kids, 8 moms, and 2 teachers. It was great fun, here's what we did: Historic Williamsburg-go into the armory, blacksmith, court house, etc. Reenact a battle with authentic sticks. A ghost tour at night. Jamestown and Yorktown-see how the early, early settlers lived. Toured a battleship in the ship yard and went on a lunch cruise to view everything in the harbor-like the SS New York, made out of steal from the Twin Towers. Saw an imax film, spent the afternoon at Virgina Beach, and played in the pool every night.Carter's favorite part: the beach (it was on our last day and as we were getting off the bus, he asked me, "mom, is there going to be any teaching on the beach or do we just get to play? I guess he was toured out)
Julie's favorite part: any time Carter would hug/kiss me and thank me for coming-which happened a lot

What a great opportunity. You probably remembered little of it from when you went as a kid---and you definitely did *more* on this school trip. So glad you got to spend that time with Carter. Love the look on Carter's face in the stockade. Carter knows how to act the part.
Love the comment about the beach. I'm imagining the kids getting there, excited to play, then a guy dressed in authentic 18th century swimwear presents an hour long discourse on the history of beach fun.
