Another historic site in Virginia that I've always wanted to visit is Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown so I made that happen on weekend in April. It's just a couple of hours drive from Staunton so I packed up and drove over. Saturday I spent all day touring Colonial Williamsburg. It was much larger than I expected but I went on a perfect weekend. The tourist season was not in full force and it was a little late in the year for school field trips. Apparently all school children on the East Coast take a field trip to Colonial Williamsburg.

My favorite shop was the Millinery -
clothing was a major expense back in
this era. Dressmakers/Tailors were
in high demand. |
Some of the exhibits weren't open but I had plenty to see. I enjoyed the various buildings, videos, and exhibits and even tried some of the apple cider.

Sunday I spent the day touring Jamestown and enjoying all the United States history in the area. Its amazing - that's where it all started! Two days is not nearly enough time to visit but it was fun to see the highlights.
