Historic Williamsburg - Day 2
20 november 2018, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
A sunny, clear day. Enjoyed visiting with other tradesman like the barber and the wig maker. Enjoyed a delightful outdoor play about a female astronomer Caroline Herschel, born in 1750, who discovered several comets.

Also, enjoyed an interactive presentation with President Thomas Jefferson. We were told by people sitting beside us that this Jefferson was the best and would soon be retiring.Läs mer

Tools of the Trade
21 augusti 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F
These are the tools of the trade for a silversmith back in the days of Colonial Williamsburg. Using these simple bits of metal, the craftsmen working here are able to turn out such beautiful works of art.Läs mer

He Just Stepped Away....
21 augusti 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
The inside of the governor's mansion was still all furnished and looking as if someone was still living there, right down to little details like a pair of glasses and unread correspondence sitting on the desk. Almost everything in this house is the original furniture and personal articles. I think that the cloth is a reproduction though. The original material would have faded and rotted away long ago. From seeing all of these home furnishings, I'd have to say that people seemed to be smaller in the past. The scale of everything is slightly off from what we have now. This not very long ago either, in evolutionary measurements. Are we really growing so fast? Apparently we are. I've seen suits of armor in museums dating back to medieval times and they look as if they are sized to fit a large child rather than a grown man. It's amazing how much people change over time.Läs mer

Looking Out
21 augusti 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
Here's a look out one of the windows in the Governor's Palace. I guess the making of glass was not perfected yet because the panes all show various degrees of distortion. Our guide told us that most of these windows still have the original glass installed. I'm impressed that this place has been so well maintained and cared for.Läs mer

The Countryside
21 augusti 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
Not all of Colonial Williamsburg was buildings like the governor's palace. In fact, most of it wasn't. This is what much of Colonial Williamsburg looked like. Sometimes, getting to different buildings involved quite a bit of walking.Läs mer

Summer Days
21 augusti 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
Aside from all of the obvious sites to see here at Colonial Williamsburg, always look around and be sure to catch the little moments of everyday beauty that's all around us. Those unexpected moments can sometimes be one of the highlights of the day.Läs mer

Weaving Baskets
21 augusti 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
Scattered throughout the Colonial Williamsburg village are various houses, each one showing the different businesses and skills that existed during the colonial era. The first one we came across was basket weaving. The women here were really making baskets, as visitors watched. As they showed how they did their craft, they explained how baskets were used during the time and answered any questions that people had. It's so interesting watching these craftspeople at work! This woman looks so serious! I could easily see her living in 1607!Läs mer

Dag 2
The Candle Maker
21 augusti 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
The next craftsman that we saw was the candlemaker. He was working outside since his tools were creating so much heat from melting the wax. He was really into the part and gave a great demonstration on making candels as well as being very entertaining as he told all the information regarding his craft. Kathy was asking him questions, which he really seemed to appreciate. I think it's more fun for them to interact with the audience rather than to just be stared at by a silent group. When people talk to them, they really seem to warm up to their subject and their performance become much more interesting.Läs mer

Dag 3
Hardee's or Carl's Jr?
22 augusti 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌙 75 °F
After leaving we stopped at Hardee's for dinner. Although they call themselves Hardee's, this is Carl's Jr to me. I don't know why this is one company and they use two different names. One the west coast they are known as Carl's Jr and in the south they are called Hardee's.
Carl's Jr is one of my favorite fast food places but, unfortunately, they don't have any locations in New York. In fact, there's no Carl's Jr anywhere in the Northeast. So, this is another "vacation restaurant" and eating here is a real treat for me.
Sadly, dinner here was not as good as I had hoped it would be. Our burgers we're very dry, as if they were made a while ago and were left sitting under heat lamps for a long time, drying them out completely. Our fries were great, but the burgers left a lot to be desired. Such a disappointment! Hopefully my next visit to Carl's Jr will be a lot better. They really let me down tonight.Läs mer

Going in Style
21 augusti 2016, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
Riding around in this horse drawn carriage looks like it would be a lot of fun, especially on a hot and humid day like we're having now. We're walking though. As enjoyable as a carriage ride might be, I don't want to miss anything here while we're seeing Colonial Williamsburg. I don't think that the carriage driver would be willing to keep stopping the horses and let me get in and out of the carriage every time I wanted to get a closer look at something.Läs mer
