Hi! We went to Colonial Williamsburg a couple of weeks ago! Yay! yay!
Isn't my sister cute? I LOVED IT!!!!!! We got to hear a drum and fife corp! Now that was neat! = ) We toured the Governor's Palace.
Inside there was the ORIGINAL organ, salt and pepper shakers, a writing desk!!!! THAT WAS COOL FOR ME!!!!!! We toured other craftsmen and buildings. We saw a weaver,a dress maker, silversmith, apothecary, brick maker, cobbler (he makes shoes), saddlemaker, milliner (makes hats), and a blacksmith. The weaver was my favorite. I could have watched him all day! The cobbler
The weaver
We were there on a weekend that they were doing a reenactment.
We saw soldiers marching down the street.
The drums were playing, the fifes were toot toot tooting. Ahhhhhhh.... this is the life!!!! We saw the oxen pulling a cart.
Awwwww how cute!!! The next day we went to Jamestown! Yay! We saw replicas of the Susan Constant, the Discovery, and the Godspeed. We got to go on the boats and see what it was like. We saw the bunks where they slept and below deck.
Some waves came from a ferry and made the boat rock, and it kind of freaked me out!! Woa!!!! Help!!! Help! This is a replica of the Powahatan Villiage. They even had real animal skins in there.
That was pretty cool! We are grinding corn.
Here we are helping dig out a canoe from a log.
I am carrying water buckets. They were kind of heavy.
Last we went to the James River to wade and play.
My mom and my sisters, Briana and Ashley on the beach at the James River.
That was a cool vacation!!! Marissa! = ) |
It was sooooooooooo much FUN!!!!!!!! I love history, especially Colonial times. My mom and grandma made colonial dresses for my sister and me.
