A Trip Back into Time

We took our time this morning getting going but it was well worth it. Hey, after all we are on vacation right. Okay, it was noon before we got going. Who cares!

First, after breakfast at Sonic, we arrived at the Williamsburg Visitor Center and began our journey back into time to Colony Time Williamsburg. Walking through time and the town we experienced how the common folk (the poor); the middle folk (merchants, shop keepers; and the high society ( the governor, military and tories).















In the Governor's Palace characters such as Governor Dunbar, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry lived or conducted business here. It's easy to imagine the early colony residents living and surviving the revolutionary war.


Re-enactments of the events that lead to the war and what occured brought characters such as Bendict Arnold to life. Boo..

"WELCOME TO THE REVOLUTIONARY CITY"

A cry for independence!





























































A Traitor, Bendict Arnold.























































A friend, Lafayette.






My wife loved the trip back into the future but due to the rain ( very little) and the humidity she has forbidden all photos of her. Something about she would look like a drowned cat... hm, I don't think so.

It was too bad that we had to come back to reality but our Lola directed home via scenic route and after a wonderful dinner at Mirabelle's Italian Restaurant we relaxed for the evening and planned tomorrow's activities.
