Today, we stepped back to Colonial times by spending most of the day at Colonial Williamsburg. It was an entertaining and informative day, where we visited a number of buildings and listened to people somewhat in character tell their stories.
We began our visit with a tour of the Governor's Palace.
The kids though couldn't help but get themselves into a bit of trouble, which they paid for in the stocks.
We also got to visit a couple of original jail ("Gaol") cells that date back to the 1700's.
Erik wasn't all that sure about the jail cell "throne".
Towards the end of the day, Rebecca and Erik paid a little visit to Thomas Jefferson.
We finished the day with another brief visit to Jamestown, to see the multimedia presentation in their Visitor's Center that we'd missed the day before. After that, we hit the road and are now safely resting for the evening in Virginia Beach, VA.Tomorrow, we expect to visit Kitty Hawk and the town of Manteo in eastern North Carolina.
