It’s been a whirlwind. We just got back from our frugal cruise to Mexico (Pictures later) and flew to Norfolk, VA for the filiming of our segment with the 700 club. The hotel we are staying at is gorgeous! It’s all decorated in a colonial style with crystal chandelliers and fireplaces everywhere. The food is amazing and the people are some of the kindest around. Here are some photos of the hotel.
Our room at the Founder’s Inn. Historical Williamsburg is close by.
This is just part of the lobby at the Inn.
Another room in the Lobby. The crystal chandeliers, Persian Rugs, and Fireplaces are everywhere!
The View out our hotel room window. The Inn is made of several buildings including a 2 story fitness center with a heated indoor lane pool. I wish I had brought my suit!
We started this morning bright and early in makeup and then off to the hair stylist. Before that the wardrobe consultant helped me choose the most flattering pieces of clothing I own for the various shoots we will take.
All Done!
Setting up for the first shot in Teeters Grocery Store. The camera man, James, is getting ready to finish medical school as an OB GYN and hopes to use his skills back in the mission field. Lori is next to him and is producing this segment. She really has a way of puttng people at ease. I’m giving my belly a little good luck rub and Nicole Harris is right next to me, staying calm. She’s amazing! And I’m so happy I got to be in her space today.
We’re setting up for an outside intro shot here. This is one of the few belly shot pictures I have, lol. Little Grant is growing along nicely. It’s hard to belive we’ll meet him in less than 12 weeks! I have more shots of the hotel that I’ll post later and cruise shots too, but for now I’m ready to get some rest.
Thank you, Angela, for all of the wonderful tips and advice you gave me today! I can’t wait to shrink my grocery bill even more! I had a great time!! Thanks again!
Oh my gosh, you were right next door to my house! I walk to that Harris Teeter almost everyday!
How long are you going to be in the area? My husband is at Regent Law and I would love to come over and watch the taping on the 700 Club.
Rhiannon, We will be here until Thursday. The live taping is Thursday in the morning at 9:00 and you can take a tour of the studio afterwards at 10:00 if you want to.
Congrats – you look beautiful! I like the highlights in your hair.
Angela –
I was your waitress 🙂 You are the coolest! So kind of you to stop by my little blog!
As I told you, I’m a grad student and spending money on food is something I need to cut down on (luckily the inn throws me a lot of free food 🙂 ) I’ll definitely be following your blog to help cut down on spending in that area though.
I’ll be looking for you on the 700 club for healthy Wednesday!
And thanks for all of your kind comments about the Inn. It is beautiful, isn’t it? You’ll have to come back in the summer, it gets better!

*P.S. I’m so glad that is a non-issue for you and your husband. My parents have been together for almost 27 years, and it just boggles my mind. It just doesn’t seem possible. It’s refreshing to know there are Christ-centered marriages that work and are blessed!
I loved reading your post. You look fantastic. I haven’t been to Colonial Williamsburg but have a friend who has and I would love to go there. Looking forward to seeing your cruise pictures. Hope the blizzard we got here isn’t too bad when it gets there. Have a safe trip home.
Saw you this morning on 700 club…You did a great job but I thought the segment was too short!!! Maybe they will have you on again!
I don’t know what 700 club is, but you look AWESOME! I cannot believe you are in your 3rd trimester!! GO MAMA GO!!
Thank you for all of the awesome tips. I watch the 700 club when I get a chance, and just happened to watch it back on my DVR today. I am sooo glad that I did. I am a stay at home mom always trying to find ways to save money. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! God Bless!
