... 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!

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 ...

... price to pay to meet such a respected and honored gentleman. He speaks of our current situation in 1774 and how the people should run the country. He will also answer any questions as when someone questioned his view of slavery. He said his slaves were referred to as "his people" and he was good to them. He didn't believe in slavery, but as we know he did have them. <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 ...

... luxury of enjoying this as I once did. I suggested Melissa go on it twice and she did. Early in the day is the time to gets the best rides in. BG is decorated now completely with Halloween Themes. Shows, music, and rides are all transformed for this. We went to our Bed and Breakfast checking in and later returned at night when the Haunting really begins. Since Melissa is a completely different child than Julia 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 ...

... I managed to pitch the ball from the drop zone within an easy one putt for a respectable bogey. I totaled 92 for the day...my first round under 100 in over a month. At the pro shop I wanted to make a tee time for 3 for tomorrow morning. Unfortunately the only available tee time in the morning was for the Blackheath. I wanted to play all three courses during my three rounds, here. Since I enjoyed the track, I was not that disappointed to play Blackheath again.

... It is truly a wonderful and amazing experience, and an excellent history lesson of how our country was founded, all in one. If you have seen Mel Gibson's "The Patriot" movie this place is the real thing, where it all actually took place. And the movie, which I loved, does not do justice to the real experience of seeing and being a part of the true history. I highly recommend you visit this awesome place and piece of American history if you ever get a chance.

... We decided we would at least drive down to Jamestown and pick up our National Parks Pass and see what the area looked like. We ended up staying and sat in on a ranger talk about Jamestown and then went out to look at the archeological sight where the original Jamestown fort had been found. It was so cool to see Dr. Kelso and his archeological students working on unearthing history before our eyes ...
