Colonial Williamsburg

Standard

These are some of my photos from my recent trip to Williamsburg, Virginia. I spent the day on my own, so I have a lot of photos of buildings and the re-enactors as well as the gardens and horses. I will write more about it, but it truly was a fabulous day with perfect weather. The one thing I would change would be to pay attention to the schedule. I didn’t buy a ticket, and therefore wasn’t allowed into the historic end by the Capitol since there was a performance. If I had realized I would have started at that end, and been gone before they closed it to non-ticket holders.
