Jay and Rebecca's birthday vacation

Ever since coming home from Florida, Jay was nonstop on taking another trip in Dec.
I'd love to see the Christmas decorations at Disney World but knew that we couldn't take 2 grand trips almost back to back.
I received an email about the Great Wolf Lodge and knew that would be a wonderful place for Jay and Rebecca to spend their birthdays. We kept it a surprise and wow was it worth it!
Since we have annual passes to Colonial Williamsburg, I thought it would be nice to spend the morning there. Little did I know that we would have a heat wave. It was around 70 degrees! What a great blessing!
So, we went to Colonial Williamsburg and Rebecca thought "this" was her grand present. Haha, little did she know what was to come.

One thing Rebecca has desired to do each time we have been to Colonial Williamsburg is to ride in a carriage. So, for her birthday, Jay let her pick the carriage and we rode around in the Governor's carriage.
The girls competed to see who could get the most people to wave at them.
Emily had approx. 35 wavers whereas Rebecca had a whopping 50 different people wave back at them.
They had a blast!

We took a 45 minute tour of the Randolph house.

Gotta throw some education in there too.
Here they are standing in front of the gigantic front door.

The best is yet to come.
I'll post more tomorrow on the unbelievable fun we had the rest of the week.
