I woke early on December 27, ready to pack some lunches, fill some water bottles, and get anyone willing to head out to Colonial Williamsburg for some Christmas fun. I made omelets for breakfast, tons of PB & J and turkey sandwiches to take for lunch, and also made up the turkey filling part of what would become turkey enchiladas that night. By this time, others had begun waking up, and we were out the door and ready to go at 10am. After an endless wait in line to purchase sampler tickets, we headed out to the town on the shuttle bus and enjoyed a day in the colonial city, learning about the history of this beautifully preserved town. Luckily, my mother felt well enough to come along, although my father stayed behind to tidy the room and have some quiet time. From here on out, it’s pictures on this one, folks – I’ll simply say we purchased a sampler ticket as we had one day and small children, and the sampler lets you get into one family house, two trade shops, and the gaol (jail). That, plus wandering the streets, was enough for us!
