Ah, it’s good to be back home, and yet where did those two amazing days with my sister and niece go?
Michaela and Best Cousin in the Universe
The days went by as all days do, but they were magical-fun and so full of learning about history, I did not want them to stop. Everyone should see Yorktown. And laugh as much as my sister and I do when we’re together.

I loved walking around the Yorktown Battlefield and looking at wild herbs. There were some herbs that would qualify as kitchen-garden herbs and I enjoyed pondering over how they came to be there in such quantity.
I also enjoyed strolling along the waterfront streets around the Victory Center and taking in the scenery. It was a little bit like going back in time. The houses were old and oh so beautiful! The gardens were lovely.
Last, but certainly not least, is the Yorktown Victory Monument. It took my breath away. We went over Tuesday evening and looked at Lady Victory standing atop her pedestal beneath a dark, cloudy sky. We went again the next day and enjoyed her in the daylight.
There’s so much more to share, but I must get to bed. Tomorrow is a work day and it will take us days of journaling and pasting things into our school notebook to get our thoughts and memories together.

Dear Lynn,
I love the cousin picture! I’m so glad you had an enjoyable time, and that you made it home safely. I hope today’s work goes well for you, and that you can sneak out into the garden.

Holy cow boy oh boy do those girls look like cousins!!
You and your sister must also look a lot alike!

I agree with Heather! Best cousin in the Universe has a terminal case of cute, too!!!
Ken, thank you for your kind comment. And Best Cousin in the Universe is exceptionally cute IMO.
Diane, thanks! I’m sure I’ll be sharing a little bit at a time.
Thanks, Emily. Miss Priss will have lots to say, as usual.
Marqueta, work went well today, though it’s difficult to change gears sometimes.
Heather, we are always commenting on how much they look alike. My sister and I favor, but we don’t look exactly alike. I think we pass as sisters though.
