During Under the Redcoat at Colonial Williamsburg, the kids and I visited our first brick burn on two different nights, which was a neat evening program.
Suddenly, a guy held a giant microphone in front of my face, while a massive video camera moved close to my face, as they sought my 18th century story.
Patrick Henry was arrested by the Redcoats right before we bought a new book about him. Later, he greeted us while being interviewed, then they interviewed me!

The kids and I were captured by the Redcoats and they seemed to be targeting me!
We also attended dragoon bootcamp to spy for the Continental Army.
I got to bring my 18th century sewing projects to an individual consultation with the Costume Design Center staff to ask questions. How cool is that?
Suddenly the Redcoat engaged his rifle and told my kids to halt!
Where were their passes? Passes? What passes?
My son proclaimed, “I’m only 13!”
