After wanting to go to Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia since I was a young child (and saw their advertisements on PBS everyday.. for Wishbone! of course), today I finally got my chance. And bonus: it was free for military and dependents! Woot!
It was a perfect day to visit. The leaves are changing, the sky was blue and it was just chilly enough for a light jacket.
 |
| This was taken near the 18th Century working plantation. |
 |
| Where Colonial Williamsburg meets modern day. Bruton Parish Church's services were just letting out as we passed. |
 |
| The streets are so beautiful. Strangely about 80 or so families live in and around the town ... that would be crazy to have to dodge tourists everyday! |
 |
| We took a tour of the restored Capital building. |
 |
| The Governor's Palace was beautiful and impressive. |
 |
| 18th Century design: beautiful open shelving! |
 |
| I love the yellow with the bold frames and maps... love maps! |
 |
| And yikes! You can tell this room was for a 15 year old girl... the bold bedding was shipped over from India. |
 |
| Such a bold color! |
 |
| I have a friend who would LOVE this color... though, I kinda like it too, it's fun. |
 |
Love the crest on the house... if this was anywhere else but Colonial Williamsburg this would be SO gaudy.
|
And my favorite Autumn pictures of the day...
It was a beautiful setting only slightly marred by the possibility of unwittingly stepping in road apples... which I almost did multiple times today!
