Living Village-Colonial Williamsburg

















Monday, we toured Colonial Williamsburg, a living village where people dress in period costumes and spend the day working the way they would have in the 1700's. We walked the square as we saw the Capitol, which housed the courthouse & the rooms where the legislators of the time met to create laws, the gaol (jail), milliner & tailor shop, apothecary, the blacksmith, the magazine and guardhouse & a silversmith shop. There were many, many taverns, as well. We ran out of time (and steam) and decided to forego the museums and start for DC.

Hi Judi & Pat:

Glad to hear you are having such a wonderful time. It must be great to see everything at your own pace with no set schedule. I am looking forward to seeing how you like DC.

Love,
Adam (& Sara & Noah)
