I know I haven't posted for a LONG time but we have been busy. This is the first day that I haven't been writting tons and tons of special ed goals or preparing for Christmas at home. Since I have some extra time this afternoon I thought I would add another adventure.
June 2010 (not sure the exact date)
We got some great advice from Dean's uncle Richard while in West Virginia and headed out towards Williamsburg, VA. We made a few scenic stops and another one at Appomattox Court House. If you are not familiar the great surrender of the Civil War took place here. It was really cool. You could just feel the history around you. Looking at the battlefields, trenches, and replicas really made it come alive. It was GREAT!! We then headed toward Richmond to see the capital and to view a few other battlefields. After that it was on to Williamsburg.
Williamsburg was wonderful. We could have spent a few more days there but the two days we did spend were great. We spent most of our time in Revolutionary City. Everything in this area is just like it was in the Revolution. All the buildings, people, everything. Even everything made for the city or in the city is handmade. So its all authentic. During different parts of the day they would act out different parts of the revolution. We followed them around town while they were doing it. I LOVED IT!!! I think Dean liked it too. We really liked watching them make bricks, buckets, and wagons. We also got this cool mug that we could refill as much as we wanted. That was awesome. We drank so much lemonade and apple cider. I REALLY loved it!!
Hopefully I can post pictures soon too. Its really hard to describe how cool it was. You have to go there. It is a great family place and a great way to learn about US history.
The Governor's Mansion- Incredible!!
