Williamsburg May 2008

Williamsburg, Va May 2008

We’re having a couple of very relaxing days in Williamsburg. The weather is beautiful- about 80 and the sun is shinning. Our deck overlooks the woods and the birds are calming to listen to.

Thursday we went into Colonial Williamsburg and went to a couple of programs- a quick scene about young love in Colonial Virginia, then we learned a bit about gardening (and got several hints about taking care of herbs). We went to an old favorite – the Wythe house (he was Jefferson’s law professor). There I saw spinning, weaving, and basket making demonstrations. The Wythe House and the plantation building here at Powhatan were built by the same builder.
Today we went shopping, and then out to lunch in New Town (established in 1997) at a place called Green Leaf (owned and operated by alumni of William and Mary). That entire area (New Town) was all woods when we first started coming here.
Tomorrow we’re going to the Beach!!!!!
