Williamsburg

This was in the armory.  Pretty cool!  

Unfortunately this place wasn't the most entertaining for the little ones.  It's a good thing he looks so cute when he's mad! :)

Characters dressed up all over the place.  (I like the pic of Adam in the bottom corner!)

Slow down boy!  

They had a marching band that was pretty good.  They marched all the way down the street. Here's a little sample:

I believe this was the George Washington character approaching on the horse in this reinactment. 

They did shoot off guns and cannons which was pretty loud.  I was surprised the kids didn't mind.  But Adam did start crying pretty hard.  Poor little guy.

The kids made friends with the squirrels! 

The pretending squirrels!

*** Notes to Self:  Just to help us for future visits.  Colonial Willliamsburg was great, but SUPER busy!  It was a Wed and we still missed a great deal of tours and shops because we were out of time and there were more lines than we had planned on.  The parks is only open from 9-5, and many things close at 3:30, 4 or 4:30.  So, get there right when it opens and have lots of sun block and fun things planned for the kids.  There are reenactments, and shop keepers that talk to you, but the kids don't last long.  We didn't get to tour the governor's palace.  So if we go again, go there first!  The shuttled worked great, but if you're looking for parking down where you can just walk right onto the main street, you are looking for paid parking off Rancis Street and North Henry Street.  The free shuttle goes on that street too.
