There is so much history in Colonial Williamsburg. We spent a day here and it almost felt like you were back in time. The picture to the left is the Governor's Place where 7 Royal Governors lived until the Revolution. Then Patrick Henry resided there as Virginia's first American governor. It burned down in the late 1700's and had to be rebuilt. The path and shed below is in a garden area and the tree was split apart by an unknown source (maybe lightning) but survived and both sides are living. Scott and I decided to pose in the stockades and asked a passerby to take the pic for us. The rest of the pics show the period costumed people that were everywhere as you walked around the town. It really brought history to life and helped you see what the lives of both the working class and gentry were like in the 1700's.

I am diggin the images - beam me up when your imaging chip fills up.
Just LOVIN' your blog and pics! I've never spent time in most of these areas of the country, and your little snippets of history are fun to read. Hey - WHAT is that gorgeous flower you're surrounded by at (what I assume was in) the botanical gardens? Is it hydrangeas?
Carry on, Ladybug ~ enjoy the "Compromise" (too funny!)
