Visiting Williamsburg, Virginia

Our first outing after moving to Virginia was to Williamsburg. 

Williamsburg was the capital of the Virginia colony from 1699 to 1780. (Here is a link if you want to know more about the history of colonial Williamsburg.)

You can purchase tickets so you can visit the museums and go inside the houses and such, but they were pretty pricey (there was four of us that day) so we opted just to walk around modern Williamsburg and the colonial Williamsburg areas.

The colonial Williamsburg area is set up as a living history museum with people dressed and acting as people did when the town was first active.

It was pretty hot the day we visited, so we didn't get to spend as much time walking around as we would have liked, but I guess that  means we will have to go back again sometime!
