So yesterday, we visited Fort Monroe and I featured a picture of my friends.
And today, we went to Colonial Williamsburg and I'm again showing a picture of my friends.
One reason might be because I don't really like any of the pictures I have taken.
Or it could be that we really are having a great time with our friends Matt and Sue, we've spent two days together and we're STILL having a great time.
The big deal today was Colonial Williamsburg which is kind of a pricey theme park of a rebuilt Williamsburg, the site of Virginia's first capital. Some original buildings but a lot rebuilt by the Rockefeller Foundation in the 1930s. A lot of people in 18th Century dress demonstrating life at the time just as the American Revolution was brewing. Originally the colony was under British rule, then independence. The capital was soon moved to Richmond which was seen as safer given the might of the British Navy.
Monday in the off season with rain in the morning, not crowded at all. A little hard to get into the swing of it. We enjoyed the print shop and the bindery, saw an archeology dig, had a lovely lunch and then a tour of the capital and the governor's residence known as the Palace.
Back in time to turn in the wheelchair at 6 (which Sue needs sometimes) then to a lovely Italian restaurant in a strip mall. Had the special, chicken with peppers and asparagus and a light wine sauce. Mmmmmm.
Really really looks like we will not see Victoria in Tennessee. Hard to know how to help....
