Bangs in Williamsburg

Before our lives mirror scenes from The Firm, we thought a mini-vacay was in order: Jason's new employment was the impetus for our lovely holiday to the Palin-friendly, Williamsburg, VA, though the charming antiquity of Yorktown and Jamestown proffer sufficient allure. However, we soon discovered- quite conclusively- that Eowyn does not share our affinity for historically enriching tours, provocative re-enactments and untouchable artifacts. Ironically, it was over these four days that Eowyn learned the sign for "all done;" this was her constant refrain as we carted her along to each colonial pilgrimage and Revolutionary mecca. In truth though, we adore Eowyn's unbridled zest for life and insatiable curiosity, regretting only that it occasionally complicates-for example-posh Williamsburg wine tastings- Our resident connoisseur Jack (self-proclaimed "Jacque") failed to share our appreciation of her energy (Who knew that wine cellars also act as echo chambers for high-pitched squeals?) Admittedly, it is on these occasions that I sometimes wish Eowyn was more like Paris Hilton's "Tinkerbell" and could fit comfortably and quietly in my purse. Truly, Eowyn's exploits only endear her further to us (oh and I got "bangs" in honor of Sarah Palin).
