Then all exclaimed: Naaawww, we’d rather be cold in Colonial Williamsburg during Grand Illumination! There is nothing like it anywhere else in the world!
This was a great way to celebrate President’s Day, talking to each of the presidents from Virginia who also spent time in Williamsburg.
We arrived in Virginia a year ago feeling like Texans. A year later we feel like Alaskans, instead of Virginians with 3 record breaking blizzards.
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!
Now that we got 20 inches of snow for our first Christmas in Virginia, we added a taste of Texas…tamales, a San Antonio tradition for Christmas Eve.
We are already reaching depths of snow that top the top 5 December snowfall accumulations, none of which are in my lifetime…until now!
