We finally had a little more relaxed day today. We ate breakfast on the go, then drove a couple hours down to Colonial Williamsburg. We had a pretty good lunch in a colonial tavern, then spent a beautiful afternoon visiting 18th century Williamsburg, including the blacksmith shop, the milliner (hat maker), a shoemaker, a weaver, the courthouse (complete with stocks for the criminals!) the bookbinder, a silversmith, wigmaker, etc.
The people in the town and the individual buildings are all dressed in period costume, and tell you all about their trade, and answer your questions as if they are living in the 1700s. The weather couldn’t have been nicer. Sunny, blue skies, but with giant puffy white clouds for the sun to hide behind.
We arrived at our hotel during daylight hours – we haven’t done that in days! Had a delicious dinner, then to bed for a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow – Busch Gardens Williamsburg and our second festival of roller coasters and water rides!
I gotta get me one of these for the house.
