On July 15-17, over 200 Cumbo descendants gathered from across the nation and around the world in Williamsburg, VA for our 2016 Cumbo Family Reunion. Here are photos from our Friday Meet and Greet event.
Here I am arriving in Williamsburg, quite excited.
We hosted the reunion at the Williamsburg Woodlands Hotel. Our Meet and Greet was hosted in the hotel’s conference center. All in all I give the hotel mixed reviews. If you are interested in more details I’m happy to share.
