Beaker Goes To Williamsburg

So last week, we took our mascot Beaker on a tour of Colonial Williamsburg as part of their special Home Educators Days. But first, a stop at the Virginia War Museum where Beaker got a close-up view of a tank. (It's hard to see, but he's sitting on the side of the tank.) We spent 2 days touring Williamsburg -- there were very few people there, so we got to spend lots of time at each location, asking questions and looking around.  The boys especially liked seeing the foundry where they cast and mold pewter; the saddlery and blacksmith shop were also interesting. Beaker gets to spend some quality time in the stocks. And then later ended up in the jail.  Apparently, in colonial times, the jailer and his family actually all lived in the same building with the criminals in the cells. We can't tour properly without snacks!  Here's Beaker enjoying a piece of gingerbread cake at the Raleigh Tavern Bakery. That gingerbread was really, really good. Beaker poses over lunch with our special Colonial Williamsburg Home Educators Tickets. And finally, Beaker relaxes on the bus after a long day of hiking up and down Duke of Gloucester street
