Williamsburg

The second day was spent in Williamsburg. The evening before we saw the longest running motion picture of all time in the theatre. It was made in the 1960s and is still showing. I remember it from the 1993 expedition with Isla, Bruce, Michelle and Todd to Wmsbg, VA. All I could remember is that George Washington could crush a walnut with his index finger and thumb. Very classic.

-Some of the food at the Gov's Mansion.





-Mom and Mary at the gate to the gardens at the Gov's Mansion. This is where the flower infatuation started.












-Flowers, flowers everywhere. I won't put all of the pictures here, but let's just say there's a lot. Spring!

Johnny Jump-ups.

















-Anemone.


















Steph and mom walking through the arbor in the gardens.














-The lady's discussing the upcoming ball.










-A chair at the Wythe (pronounced "with") House. Mr Wythe involved with state politics and also a teacher of Thomas Jefferson.











-A basket maker on the Wythe property.
















-At the milliner's shop. This lady was very good and all of us crafts-people were very interested in the sewing, fabrics and apparel.












-T.J. himself. Not a fan of 1st person interpretation, but in this format it works. He was very good.














-The start of "Revolutionary City," which we were not staying for (1st person galore), but my mom was very nice to the lady walking down the street saying that her husband couldn't tell any lady apart once they had their aprons and caps on.










-The shoemaker.

















-My mom trading all kinds of gardening secrets with the gardener at Williamsburg. She really liked his hat.









-An example of the different colors of bricks (some harder, some more porous).

I did try to find Marshall and Justin, but Justin just left for "Revolutionary City" (which I believe he bemoaned on his last visit to the island, about how he has to leave his regular interpretation station to be part of that) and we were just minutes late to see Marshall. Maybe next time.
