Boy are we exhausted ! Today was Day Two of our "field trip" in the Historical Triangle. We got up early, had breakfast and was at the Visitor's Center at 8:45 am.
We began with the movie at the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor's Center which was outstanding. Then we headed over to the "village". Our first stop was the Governor's Palace which was an excellent tour. Then we wandered around for some time. It was disappointing in that quite a few buildings were either "closed" or "had no one there." I really expected there to be MANY interpreters all over Williamsburg. We did visit the saddlemaker, wigmaker, printer, blacksmith and silvermaker. Each area was crowded and we didn't stay long. We did go into the Capital Building and that tour was outstanding. This evening we went on the "Legends, Stories ..." Ghost Tour. There were three stories - of which two were excellent and one was less than satisfying.
Shayna had a fabulous time. She loved everything we saw.
I was disappointed because to me, for the "typical" price (we paid homeschoolers fee for this week so it was very cheap !) it would not be worth it. I felt that Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts was so much better !
We are very nervous about tomorrow. We are "supposed" to go to Yorktown; however, the area is supposed to have HORRIBLE rain/thunderstorms all day tomorrow. We might have to cancel this. We will just have to wait and see.
