Colonial Williamsburg

After getting in to Virginia around midnight Thursday night, we picked Christopher up from Ft. Eustis Friday morning and spent most of the day in Colonial Williamsburg (see pic at right). What a totally awesome place. In most of the major sites there, they have guides dressed in period costumes, and they tell stories, relate history, and answer questions. They were all very knowledgeable and entertaining - it was great fun!

After Colonial Williamsburg, we drove over to the "Presidential Park" there where they literally have like 20-foot busts of each of the Presidents. It was closed (what's with the historical places closing at 4:30pm?!); however, and we could only get glimpses from outside. The place looks cool, though!

Then last night we drove to Lynchburg, VA and we'll check out some historical sites around here and as we drive northeast from here on our way to northern Virginia. What a great trip, and it's so fun to be with Christopher!!! Oh... just in case you were interested, to the left here is a picture of Christopher's barracks - this is where Christopher lives.

To see all 40 pics I've posted from yesterday, please click here for Facebook, or here for Flickr. I haven't added descriptions to all the pics yet (sorry I'm such a slacker!!!), but there are more descriptions on the Facebook album.
