Hello again....

Even though we were here just last November... my Ed can hardly spend time in the south without stopping by Colonial Williamsburg!!! (possibly his most favorite place in the world).. so, this morning, we bid goodbye to Kas and Nate, and began our trek north, with time to spare so that we could spend some time here. Since we have "no childred" to shoot pictures of... Moxie had to pose in front of the sign for me!!!

The "city" was fairly quiet... there are a number of school groups, as always, but there is plenty of room to move about and see the special programs that goes on.


Today, we had the great pleasure of seeing "General George Washington".... he rode up on his horse to review the troops and encourage them in their fight against the British!!! He seems to think that "we can win this war and become a free nation".... I hope he is right!!!!

The troops look pretty good to us... they are strong in cannon fire and musket fire.... The fife and drum corps sounded very good and they were even able to re-inforce the troops with several volunteers from the crowd that was watching!!! Course those volunteers needed a great amount of work in marching, but I think the drill Sargent will get them into shape!!!

After all that "excitement" I was just as happy to find a peaceful spot to enjoy this beautiful place. There was this great flock of sheep enjoying their pasture, and I spent some time watching them and enjoying their company.....

We will be here tomorrow and then on Friday, we will head north again... I think we are hoping to spend a little time in the "Amish country" in PA...This certainly has been one of the best vacations that we have been on... but, I must admit... I am beginning to have pet withdrawal and am missing all the babies at home.....
