The Historic Triangle

Over the course of last weekend and the weekend before, we had fun exploring Yorktown, Williamsburg, and Jamestown. It's been amazing to have the opportunity to walk the grounds of these places with so much history. I overheard Jack and Lily playing a game the other day and Jack said, "I call team British!" So even the kids are soaking in some of the history! :)

And don't mind our lovely glistening appearances. We're still adjusting to the humidity. :)

YORKTOWN

The battlefield where the Siege of Yorktown occurred.

 JAMESTOWN

"Mommy, am I helping the indians?"

Love that girl.

Indian canoes.

WILLIAMSBURG

The kids are having fun kickin it at Grandpa's house in between weekend excursions!

Our {CrAzY} Roadtrip!

We decided to take advantage of John's ability to work from home and take off for the summer !
We drove from Arizona to Virginia in 5 days while still having some fun. Each state just seemed to get prettier and prettier...and more humid. :)

Our kids were such good sports the whole way, which was a huge blessing.

Lacy won the award for happiest traveler ! 

This Momma was just happy to get a chance to enjoy the scenery during a quiet moment!

Here are some of the places we saw and the the things we did along the way !

 We decided that one of things we definitely needed to do, was eat foods that each state 

is most famous for. So our first stop was Navajo tacos for dinner in New Mexico !  So good !

We made it to Albuquerque and spent our first night there.

 TEXAS

OKLAHOMA 

Day 2 we made it to OKC. Oklahoma City is big on the Onion Burgers ! And we loved them!!

We made it to Kansas City exactly 48 hours from the time we left Arizona!

We met up with our friends, the Williams, at Great Wolf Lodge. We 

had a chance to play Friday and Saturday at the water park there which was a nice break!

 MISSOURI

Kansas City, Great Wolf Lodge

We got some of the BEST bbq we've ever had at a restaurant called Arthur Bryant's.

 We left Saturday night just to make a short drive to St. Louis where we stayed at

probably the nicest hotel of our trip, and it was a steal. (The bathroom was the coolest part).

We went to the St. Louis zoo....which was kind of miserable.

 It was the kid's first day in humidity, and they didn't love it. :)

But we chased the grumpiest away with some more bbq!

St. Louis ribs... mmm hmm.

 KENTUCKY

We stayed in a wigwam in Cave City, and then visited the Mammoth Caves National Park the next day. LOVED IT! They are the worlds longest network of underground caves. It was so impressive.

We sucked it up and drove the rest of the way that day and made it to Grandpa's house! 

Shelly met Lacy for the very first time !

Mother's Day, John's Birthday, and More May Madness!

This May has been a busy month for the Sperry's! It's flying by, 

but that just means that we're having fun right?

First Mother's Day with Lacy! She's such a sweetie, I love this girl. 

We had a fun visit from the Chapman's. The kids enjoyed spending time with their friends. 

These little ladies loved having a girls sleepover party! :)

We had fun celebrating John's birthday all day Saturday!

Lily and I made a Reese's peanut butter pie which was a hit. 

John wanted to go hang out at the Anthem Outlets. 

Cute Lacy fell asleep on his lap while Jack and Lily played on the playground.

... and then when she woke up she tried stealing some of dad's Mountain Dew. 

(Don't you love John's face?)

John and I went out to Grimaldi's for a yummy birthday dinner :)

 John loved all of his presents from the family!

Thanks to everyone who helped make John's day special!



Here are a few videos from this weekend that we took of our Miss Lacy!
