Have you ever been on a cross country road trip? Well, I just returned from one. We didn’t go COMPLETELY across the country, but pretty close. 

I met my sister in Baltimore, Maryland. We drove her car back to her home in Phoenix, AZ. Our first stop? Colonial Williamsburg, VA. It was my first visit and her second. It had been about forty years since her last visit! The weather was sunny and warmer than expected. What fun we had!

Yes, we took a carriage ride. This particular carriage had been used for visiting dignitaries and was outfitted with Kevlar. No worries about being shot — well, of course, there was the pesky fact that the top was down! New meaning to the phrase — head shot!
