Williamsburg part 2

I'm back- finally! Our trip to Williamsburg was sooo much fun. The heat index was 100 but we made the best of it and had a lot of water and plenty of free refills. Since Williamsburg is only about an hour and half away from where my in-laws live, we decided to go while on vacation in Virginia. I didn't expect so many people to be there, but it was still nice. My oldest son, who is my hands on learner, really got into it.

I went to the site online before we left and I knew the first thing I wanted to buy were the colonial hats for my sons. I never said anything to them about it. When ds saw the hats he said, "Mommy, can you pllleeeaaasssseee buy us a hat?" I smiled and bought three. You can see ds & ds enjoyed theirs. My daughter and I decided that we would make our hats when we returned home as part of home ec. The boys also talked me into buying them small wooden muskets. They tried to get the long guns, but I had to consider my sanity. I could see them once we got home- either hitting each other with them or knocking something over in the house. But they were content with what I got them.

We ate at Chowning's Tavern for lunch. Pretty good food. We mainly stayed on the Duke of Glouster Street. After being in the heat, we were so glad that the buildings were air conditioned. We also walked Nicholson Street. When they say you can't see it all in one day- they really meant it.
