On to Williamsburg....

Continuing with posts about our recent trip with Munchomom, Machoman, and the Munchkins, today we will visit Williamsburg.

Welcoming us to Colonial Williamsburg.

Colorful signs along the way.

Interpreters were readily visible.  This one spoke with us on the street in front of the Governor's Palace.

A closer view.

Orderly gardens.

Weapons on the wall inside the foyer.

More weapons.

The "meeting room" where plans were discussed and decisions were made.

The portrayal on the green in front of the Governor's Palace was of an incident regarding the theft of gun powder from the magazine in 1775.  There were other incidents that may have contributed to the decision of the Royal Governor to take his family and leave the Palace.  As we toured the building, our interpreter kept in character letting us know that it was a mystery where the Governor and his family had gone, though it was suspected they were on a boat in the James River. 

The following pictures will show other parts of the Palace.

The bedroom for the older girls in the family.

This bed was more than likely for the nanny.

This was the dressing room.

The baby's crib. 

Doesn't this room look elegant?

A cellist was on hand to perform.

This was the stove provided for heating the banquet hall.

Brr!  Perhaps that stove might be a good thing to have at this point!  Our "Dogwood Winter" has arrived, and we are having freeze warnings!   What is the weather like where you are?

There were other activities out and about in Williamsburg.  That will be the focus of the next post.

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.
