Shelves Before and After

So when we moved here I had never seen the place until I walked in the door.  I was greeted with the kitchen and the "dining room"  then I saw this:

It was empty of course, but the thought process went like this:  "Great, something to accumulate junk on."  and "What the heck am I suppose to put here?"  As you can tell from the picture it does have junk on it and it doesn't matter how many times it gets cleaned out almost immediately stuff gets put back on it.   I finally got sick of it and took everything down and cleaned it. I figured if I fill the lower shelves where we can reach so we can't really move stuff maybe it will lessen the amount of clutter that shows up so far it has worked!!  We will see for how long here is after:

More Girl's Hats

I pulled out my sewing machine yesterday and sewed these up enjoy!

Jamestown

The last historical place we went to on our trip was Jamestown, where the first settlement was when the pilgrims first came to America.

At the visitor's center they have all kinds of things for kids to do and explore!!  There is a replica of the fort.

There are replicas of the three ships that they sailed across in!!

There is a Native American village as well

Then we went to the actual place where they are excavating the foundations of building where the fort really was!!  That was cool!

This is the foundation of the actual church where John Rolfe and Pocahontas got married, the little flags that you see in the middle is where they believe they stood when they got married.

It is definitely a place to check out if you are in the area!!!
