Colonial Williamsburg

Did I mention that we went to Williamsburg? Well I if I didn't- here is the big announcement. I will do it through pictures.

The Governor's Mansion that we paid extra to get into



The attention to detail in this time period is awesome!



So unlike our own modern houses that are sometimes just slapped together. These houses are amazing!!

Here is an English style garden. Colonial Williamsburg is supposed to take you back to the 1700's or the time of the Revolutionary War. And the timing is perfect because that is the time period we are in for homeschool. I got stuck in the 1600's for a long time but had too when we live less than an hour from the birthplace of America! Have you all seen the Jamestown commercials where it says, "Every American should stand here at least once." I will think that is an excellent sentiment and so worth the trip!

Anyhow, the garden....



The people there dress up for the time period also. Just from their clothes you can see the attention to the details they put into everything. But they also had 'extra help' in that time period.







So, I have had several conversations with Keith today telling me about all the houses he has seen. It is killing me that I am not actually there. There is one home that I can tell through Keith's voice is the ONE--- and even though I have not seen it, I want it....BAD. The description itself is fabulous. I don't want to brag about it on here though until I know for sure that it will be ours. And then no more pictures of the kids!! Just the house!

Busch Gardens tomorrow-fun
