We had a very fun and tiring day today! We went to Colonial Williamsburg, it was so
much fun and we learned a lot too. We
saw so many different things and learned about life in Virginia during the 1700’s. We went toured the many residences that were
in the city, including the Governors Palace.
We visited the numerous Artisan shops and saw how many colonial items
were made and distributed. It was pretty
cool, knowing we were standing in the exact same place George Washington and Thomas
Jefferson once stood. Even Hailey and
Maddie seemed to enjoy themselves, even though they were learning. Maddie and I participated in the encampment,
while Doug and Hailey laughed at us, shooting pretend stick rifles and yelling “Haazaa”
as we attacked. We all leaned bout
firing cannons, and how life was like for Colonial Soldiers. We at lunch at one of the taverns, which
luckily had a gluten free menu. We went to an re-enactment with General George
Washington , which Doug and I both really enjoyed. It was an awesome day.
Now we are back at the campsite eating dinner and preparing
for another campfire. Tomorrow, we
actually go to our house for a night before continuing our travels north. Doug has a “to do” list a mile long and I
have some laundry to take care of. We
still have 2 weeks left in this years journey and I am loving every minute of
it!
