In proper 18th century style, our visit included greetings from many friends of history and Colonial Williamsburg, which interspersed our merry making.
This year we partook of our favorite colonial Christmastides on the days between Christmas and New Year’s…which is historically accurate.
We saw a bit of snow at Mount Vernon, with the drizzly foggy day set against the distant Potomac.
On this house tour we saw the third-floor of the mansion!
As we walked into the historic area, I was instantly charmed by the gorgeous Christmas decorations that I had heard about for years.
