Colonial Williamsburg

Stephen and I have been wanting to get together with one of his close friends from ND Tim and Tim's girlfriend Kelly. Happily we were all available MLK weekend. So we decided to meet up in Colonial Williamsburg. Plans were made, rooms were booked, snacks were bought, and all was ready for a fun filled weekend. Then the weather came and it was one of the COLDEST days in many years in VI and MD. It was probably in the low 20's but it felt like the low teens. Being a Proud and hardy snow belt girl from OH I have to say it was colder than MANY of the snow days in OH. And yet we had a GREAT Time! We got to go to the Governer' s house and walk from building to building reliving the colonial times. I have to say I learned A LOT from this trip and was constantly impressed withe the knowledge of the people who worked there. It was a fun trip, with good food, good company, and history ( what more could I ask for :).

These were the plaques showing use we were stepping back in time ( or forward in time)


Tim and Kelly and Stephen and I in front of the Govener's house


This was when we were looking into the different building behind the Governer's house and trying to see if therewas anything interesting.


Having fun!

We stayed until dark and it was so beautiful to look at these old houses being light up for the night.

Dublin and salem halloween

These are the two pictures I took of Dublin and Salem for a Halloween.
I love them and thought it was funny that Salem was dressed as a witch.
