Whirlwind Trip ~

 

We are back from our quick little get-away to the Colonial Williamsburg area.  We left early Monday morning and arrived home Thursday night about 10pm.  1100 miles in four days.  WHEW!

Around Colonial Williamsburg ~

The majority of the homes in Colonial Williamsburg are privately occupied, either by employees or donors to the foundation, and not open to the public.

The Capitol building, a reconstruction.

A few of the tradespeople demonstrating . . . 

A man of words & not of deeds

Is like a garden full of weeds.

DSO got to fire a musket.  He was a happy camper.

Heading to the Yorktown Battlefield.

The gravestones were mostly from the Civil War, not the Revolutionary War.  Most people believe that coins on gravestones represent the military service of the person buried there.

On to Yorktown Battlefield . . . 

Trophies of War . . . 

"Surrendered by the capitulation of Yorktown, Oct. 19, 1781."

Our final touristy destination, was Jamestown, the site of the first permanent English colony, established in 1607.

Captain John Smith ~

With a couple stops, the travel time to Williamsburg was 9-10 hours.  I hooked most of the way there, but only a few hours on the way home.  I did make some progress on Fierce Lion.  I love his funkiness 😁

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
