Observations for today:

1. Rain and thunder and lightning, oh my. Not to mention a tornado watch. This definitely calls for a change in plans.
2. The kind people at Colonial Williamsburg agree to re-issue the 2nd day of our 2-day tickets for later in the week. We spend a few dollars in the gift shop as thanks.
3. Death-defying dash back to the car to avoid the lightning crashing down all around. I’ve never seen my family run so fast.
4. Rainy day backup plan… checking the movie theater to see what’s playing this afternoon.
5. Monsters vs. Aliens in 3-D. Awesome! The kids loved it.
6. Heading to spend the rest of the afternoon in Yorktown. I am more directionally challenged than I thought, but we eventually find the place.
7. Interesting couple of hours at the Yorktown Victory Center. My favorite was the soldier’s encampment. Rough life those guys had!
