A peek into Christmastide: Colonial Williamsburg
Even though many decorations are up by Thanksgiving, the decorators have until Grand Illumination to finish hanging all the wreaths, which is another week away.
18th Century Virginia Musings

Tucked away from the busy-ness of the town, secluded among the horses and the trees, resides one of my favorite Virginia colonial houses.
First we went to the milliner to see the one event that would encompass most of our day…watching the draping and hand sewing of an 18th century gown in one day!
Colonial Williamsburg has a new James Madison, who spent months in study, deeply immersed in documents and research. The results of that was great!
Attending the unique President’s DAy weekend programs of the Virginia presidents, I’ve gleaned deeper understanding of our country as we explore their lives.
Keeping warm and dry, we visited the first three presidents from Virginia throughout their lifetime at various events, for President’s Day Weekend.
Thankfully the rainy days of September dwindled to a drizzle, allowing lots of umbrella strolls through the drippy historic area.
During President’s Day weekend we analyzed our Ancient Greek studies with those who established the framework of America’s representative government!
This was a great way to celebrate President’s Day, talking to each of the presidents from Virginia who also spent time in Williamsburg.
