Colonial Williamsburg

Spent the day at Colonial Williamsburg living history area.  Over six hours of wandering, touring, attending lectures, watching demonstrations, interacting with craftsmen and docents, learning about many things, and walking a lot.  Many colonial era buildings of all styles and uses.  All of them immaculate as are the grounds and many gardens – all of which are open to browse through.  Many character dressed and acting docents all eager to help and provide information.  Spoke a bit with George Washington.  He was portraying the time just before the Yorktown battle seated in the actual room where  some of the planning took place.  Couldn’t talk about being President because that was way in the future.

After walking the mile long town several times, this looked pretty good.
