Colonial Williamsburg

This past weekend we drove to Colonial Williamsburg to meet Sarah, Dustin and the kids for a day of exploring some of our nation's history. It's so amazing that we live less than an hour from things like this! We bought an annual pass, knowing that we will definitely be going back many times. Williamsburg is not something you can do in 1 day (especially not with 3 little ones and 2 pregnant women!) And, of course Grandma's in town, so it was a fun time for her to spend with 3 of her grandchildren.
We got to take a guided tour of the Governor's Palace as part of our paid ticket. They have recreated many of the buildings to be exactly like they were during Revolutionary Times, including this one.
Cooper, in front of the County Courthouse, one of the many original buildings in the Revolutionary City.
The Fife and Drum parade. It was really neat to see all of the actors and workers walking around in period garb.
Grandma with 3 of the grandkids. What a happy group!!
We can't wait to go back and explore some more. We are also looking forward to taking visitors to see it, too. (Hint, hint!)
