... ago with my travel plans. We both had time to experience our children alone and for that I'm truly grateful. Thank you to all that have read up to this point. Any comments or questions are welcomed.<br><br> <br><br>Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!

... the English. I'm most impressed with how the gun was a deciding factor in who took control despite the Indians outnumbering them. <br><br>Lunch at cafe there and also returned to Williamsburg's Merchant Square where The Cheese Shoppe is a favorite place to pick up a sandwich, cheese and wine, or cup of coffee.<br><br>Evening Tour - A Lantern Tour ...

... Last night we did purchase tickets for extra events and saw a show with humor, called The Grand Medley of Entertainment. Tonight, we have a small audience of only 5 of us to listen by candlelight to storytelling in a Tavern. The setting is surreal and I'm surprised to learn one of the stories Melissa was familiar with from her school where a storyteller visited.<br><br>

Although Melissa insisted these people were dead, I still think learning about history is more fun when it comes alive. Hearing the people talk just before me and able to talk to them and ask them questions is the way I wish all kids could learn. Melissa is not impressed although the people we meet try to engage her whenever they can ...

... did NOT appreciated the haunting last year, I was convinced Melissa would absolutely love it. Exhibits are rated on a 3-5 pumpkin rating 5 being suggested for those over 17 years of age. We tried one but after just walking in the door and both having creatures get screams out of us - Melissa said she did NOT want to be there. I didn't want to scar her for life, so we tried the 4 pumpkin haunted house and ...

Took a cab to Union Station to pick up our rental car for our trip to Mt. Vernon. Rainy day, but that's okay as we'll be inside or driving much of the day. Toured the house, saw the museums, and ate at the Inn - Peanut Soup and Apple Pie. Peanut Soup tasted like, well - peanut butter. They gave me the recipe although I didn't really want it. Mt. Vernon is incredible as it sits on The ...

Woke up not too early, made coffee in the room and leisurely got ready for the day. Hubby and I walked over to Historical Williamsburg to see the sights, learn about life when Williamsburg was at its peak, and shop a bit. We loved all the tours and talking with the very knowledgeable town's folk. If you go to Williamsburg, make sure to take some tours and ask questions of the people in the different shops. You will learn a lot.<br><br ...

... therefore LaFayette was right. I guess you must do your history research if you want to be an interpreter at Colonial Williamsburg. Hopefully, someone told this the lady at the courthouse. After the performance, we were fortunate enough to catch the last tour of the Governor's Palace. With all the weapons mounted on the wall, you would think you were back in the Guardhouse magazine. I guess you can never have enough guns if ...

... in the vicinity. As we wouldn't have been able to walk around much we decided to make some headway up the coast. We crossed the State line into Maryland for an overnight stop in Easton. The cameras weren't used much that day . We dined in a very nice restaurant were we had our first Steak which was excellent, I wasn't the only one who couldn't finish it. On Sunday we were unable to purchase liquor but we could have bought a gun from Wallmart!!!

... a kind of line dance. Afterwards I joined Stas and Jose at the Bar. It turned out they had Karaoke! and after a small Baileys with milk, I sang Del Shannon's Runaway, not so badly if I might add (well it wasn't that good either, they had semi-professionals in there!). I got back to the lodging, tiered, sweaty, smelling of cigars but oh so happy. Well, just came back from Colonial Williamsburg, which used to be the capitol of ...
