"Spring Break" started on Friday. On Saturday, we decided to go on a day trip. The weather tried to be cooperative (for every situation). For the first time all season, we had snow that actually accumulated on the ground -- briefly!

Very interesting day trip!
The kids had fun throwing snowballs at each other.....and me.
Our trip included driving through Yorktown, down the Colonial Parkway to Jamestown. While we were on the Colonial Parkway, it started snowing really bad (almost a blizzard) but the sun was shining at the same time and blue sky was ahead. It was the strangest weather I've ever seen!
From Jamestown, we got on the ferry (Pocahontas), and rode to Surry County. At the Jamestown ferry dock, the kids spotted an Osprey sitting on her nest atop a group of pilings.

Once we were in Surry County, we drove through the countryside and saw a "whole herd" (ok, flock) of wild turkeys.
Very interesting day trip!
