Walking through Williamsburg

For our Sunday in Virginia Beach, we visited Mark and Lynnette's church, and after church, they took us to Colonial Williamsburg, about an hour from where they live.

{PS: Here was our church look. Since I took a picture, I thought I should post it.}

Anyway, on the way to Williamsburg, we had lunch at a place Mark and Lynnette wanted to show us: Taste. And it was indeed tasty!

After lunch...on to Williamsburg we drove.

If you don't know, Williamsburg used to be the capital of Virginia, and the Colonial area preserves the 18th century appearance and is complete with a cast of people who recreate life in that time and pieces of history for an interesting way of learning about American history. You can purchase tickets to tour buildings in the city, but we didn't do that. We just walked the streets and observed the history and the beauty! Peek into our day?

A stunning church still in use today:

Ryan REALLY wanted this hat. I think it looks striking on him. LOL!!

This was more our style:

Character in action on the streets of Colonial Williamsburg:

Thank goodness coffee existed in colonial times! {Although I doubt it was served with little cardboard cozies.}

Photo opp!!!

Ryan's new friend.

A couple of in-character boys playing in the street:

Recreating an Olan Mills type pose. HA!!

This is as much as we get into tree climbing:

I lost some weight.

How many are in this picture??

 

Sunset. Stunning.

And on our way home...a stop for pizza, followed by the Colts game on TV! It was a truly beautiful day. I was so thankful!
