It’s really hard to decide what to write about this particular trip. We stayed at a timeshare near Williamsburg for a week, 8/12 – 8/19. While we were there, we did pretty much EVERYTHING.

We just LOVED Williamsburg. We did the Revolutionary City program, following the re-enactors as the British government fell in the colony one day, then following the progress of the American revolution the next. We went to nearly all the homes.

We even took in the art galleries and music programs. We saw the history of Banjo in its development from African import to American folk mainstay. We listened to early compositions for and on the pianoforte.  We did a workship where the kids bought provisions using Colonial currency at the going rates in 1774.  We even did the evening ghost tours, witch trials, and attended a colonial version of America’s most wanted. 

It was just wonderful.  We had such a great time that I’m taking the kids back for the Homeschool week in September and we hope to return for at least one of the holiday programs.
