Taking Spring Break By Storm: A Revolutionary Time!

As the final installment of "Taking Spring Break by Storm", this entry recounts the adventures of our wild weekend in Colonial Williamsburg during my parent's Spring break visit. And like any good spring break story, it ends with a brush with the law...
Colonial Williamsburg is the beautifully restored colonial capital of Virginia. It includes several restored historical buildings such as the royal Governor's Palace and the House of Burgess. It also includes several restored buildings where various trades are exhibited in the fashion of the time such as wig-making, shoe-making, and printing. The town is also filled with people dressed in colonial style clothing, some of whom are employees and some of whom are enthused tourists.

We toured the historic buildings, strolled in the sun, coveted the other tourists' costumes, and sampled Colonial fare at the local tavern. We loved Colonial Williamsburg and would recommends it to anyone. Overall, we had wonderful spring break and I hope you will join us for our next series which will feature the visit of both my and Lake's parents in May entitled "Wagons East! The Exodus to Graduation!"
