I spent the majority of this week in Colonial Williamsburg. A friend blessed me with an all-expenses-paid trip! I had a great time and highly recommend it. I learned more about history this week than I learned in all of my years of schooling combined. I finally understand what happened to who and when and where and even why!
I’ll start by showing some of the buildings and everyday life. I think this was a building on Duke of Gloucester Street, but it might have been a tavern, can’t remember.
Another colonial house
The scene below is Duke of Gloucester Street, the main road through the historic district. 
Check out the toile wallpaper in my hotel room.
The house below is the Randolph house. We took a tour through it and learned a lot about slavery. Each of us was a character. I was “Eve” the lady of the house’s personal slave.
Carriages and wagons traversed the streets.
Stay tuned for part 2!
