The Long Lost Vacation Pictures

As you may remember last month Eliza and I went on a short vacation to Williamsburg, Virginia, where I had gone to college. We met up with my old roommate, Marilyn, to see what had become of the 'Burg.

Lucky for us we were reminded that in Colonial times children who refused to eat were publicly humiliated by a few hours in the stocks. We tried this public humiliation with Eliza:



Clearly this just made her mad, but not hungry:




We did get to see some old friends:






And Eliza got to make some new friends:



And we found the dopiest excuse for a theme park, "Presidents' Park" where you too can see larger than life busts of all the presidents, sort of like an American version of Easter Island:



And we also got to spend some time on the James River:

    You gotta post pictures more often. These made my day. She's adorable. And it's about time you had yourself in your blog.

    Okay. Presidents Park might have sucked for you, but Eliza looked like she was having a swell time. Did you buy the kid a hotdog??
