Williamsburg

After leaving Washington, we were supposed to travel 2.5hrs South to Williamsburg.  Unfortunately, the traffic on the motorway was very bad and the journey took us a over 4hrs.  Tired, but happy to be there, we checked into our hotel.

Williamsburg is an extraordinary town.  It is a real life town and people live there as normal but the exception is that a large chunk of the town itself has been designed as a historic village and is set in the late 1700's the same time as the revolution and declaration of Independence.

We were taken back in time to see how people lived, tasted the foods they ate and viewed the clothes they wore.  We went into many houses and were told stories of events that happened during the uprising of the revolution.

Transport during this time was by way of horse and cart/carriage.  We had such an amazing time  during our trip to Williamsburg, we have had so much fun on our road trip and I think our ribs have been exercised well with all the laughing that we have done:)

Presently, it is 8.30 on Sunday morning.  We left our hotel this morning at 5am for a long car ride to Philadelphia.  Teri's daughters, Maddy and Abby are rowers and they have a very important competition at lunchtime today.  It is going to take us approximately 6hrs to get there but it should be a very exciting race.  When the race is over, we will be driving back to Brigantine which will be approx 1.5hrs away.  This is the same time as when we are planning to Skype you all, so if we looked pretty jaded, you'll know why.  I'm so looking forward to catching up with you all this morning.  See you soon xxx
