We had some points that needed to be used, so we asked this kids if they wanted to take a quick trip to Colonial Williamsburg. It was a really, quick trip. We went down for 4 nights.

| Eleanor and I in GiGi made sweaters |
On the first day, Eleanor wanted to go the Yankee Candle. That Yankee Candle is a super big deal and we spent several hours there wondering around, watching the train and talking with Santa. Eleanor's favorite part was when it snowed. Every 6 minutes there was a spot in the store where snow fell from the sky. Pretty cool!
The next day we headed into downtown Williamsburg. Right into the heart of the historic district. I loved going in and out of the houses and buildings. Seeing how people dressed and cooked. We watched the parade and stayed out until well past dinner time.

| I guess we were bad? |
On our third day, my friend Chan drove over to Williamsburg and she walked around with us! She made friends with Eleanor - which isn't easy to do with a shy, opinionated toddler!

| There was something about this window in the brick wall with the branch. |
We left after breakfast on our 4th day because an unexpected, early snowstorm was coming.
Colonial Williamsburg - we'll be back!
I've been to Colonial Williamsburg a few times; I really love it. It's great that Chan was able to come spend the day with you, too. And leaving early to avoid snow in Virginia was a good idea; they aren't fully equipped to deal with it.
ReplyDeleteWilliamsburg is on our short list of places to use our points on, too...maybe next year. :-)
