Back in Time at Colonial Williamsburg!

If you have been to Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, 

we hope these photos will be a great reminder of your trip. 

If you haven't, we encourage you to go and plan

on buying the multi-day ticket. 

We went on a Thursday for 6 hours and 

then went back on Saturday for 5 hours.

They rotate what shops are open and you can't 

see everything in one day! 

Governor's Palace

Front lobby was designed to impress!

Carriage entrance around the back of the Governor's Palace 

is still pretty impressive!

As you can see it was an overcast day which

made it perfect to walk around this

 living community back in 1774.

This is a showing cradle. If you look how short the sides 

are you can tell that the baby would fall right out.

Cooper

Wheelwright

You also have the option of riding in a carriage.

Wigmaker

Every one of these shops are actual craftsman in their trade. 

They make the items for Colonial Williamsburg and also

 sell them. Since they are hand made they are very expensive. 

Weaver

Capitol

Some of the buildings are not original 

because they have burned down.

Silversmith

Live performances

Fife & Drum Parade

Printing Press

Be prepared for a lot of walking on cobblestone sidewalks! 

There is a bus on the outskirts that does have a few stops. 

One of the stops is the Art Museums. We did find it 

interesting to spend some time there also. 

If it is raining or you just need some time to cool off 

it is a great place to go.
