Stratford Hall with Grandma Hawkins

We brought grandma home with us from New Jersey. She is the first family member to come stay at the new house so it was fun to have her. We took a trip down to Stratford Hall, which was Robert E. Lee's birthplace. We've been there before but it was a first for grandma.

We got there early in the morning and headed straight to the beach to look for shark teeth and fossils. We spent a good four hours at the beach and the boys were completely entertained. The boys were pretty worn out and hungry after a couple hours. They all took a break.

The weather couldn't have been more perfect and the water was really warm. It was such an enjoyable day. Here we are searching for fossils.

There is a working mill on the property so we toured that too. The boys were completely amazed.

Grandma and I toured the house while the boys walked the grounds. There's lots of animals and things to see so the boys were in heaven and we got a nice quiet tour.


Such darling brothers.

Dad and his boys. These guys really have so much fun together.

Grandma and the big boys. They are quite obsessed with their grandma.

The great house. Stratford Hall.

I wasn't really prepared for how warm it was because there was a nice breeze by the ocean. We all got a bit red, even Gouverneur. Poor little guy. He didn't seem to mind a all!
I highly recommend Stratford Hall if you're in the area. It's completely detached from the city and really relaxing.

More fun pictures and post to come with grandma.
