I went on vacation to wiliamsburg Virginia for a week with my brother, this is the second time we have visited this area. It was very pretty with a lot of fun historical things to see.
the main area is the historical village it is a mile long with lots of side streets to go down. First we had a tour of the governors palace and his garden. The governors garden was my favorite, it is big and beautiful. It had a water feature and a large maze made out of tall hedges. It was designed for children to run through and find their way out but i of course could not resist running through it myself. I even started a really fun game of Marco polo with my brother and the other children had to join in.
We also visited york town Battle field and the James town settlement both very interesting. York town had a working historical farm with lots of turkeys running around.
Let's not forget the "food glorious food" One night we ate at an old time tavern, the food was yummy and the price was right but the best part of this dinner was the location. the dining area was located in the basement which is made of bricks and lit by the candles mounted on the wall. All of the staff was in colonial costumes and there was a man playing what i think was a mandolin and singing. We even had dessert MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
The last night we were there we ate at a Fancy shamcey restaurant that had a seafood buffet. My brother had 4 plates of food ( he got his moneys worth) there were king crab legs, shrimp, salmon, cod, scallops, crab cakes, honey glazed pork, grilled chicken, mashed potato's (MMMMMMMMM) home made bread, sushi ( we passed on that ) I am not a huge fan of seafood but i really enjoyed the cod fish and crab cakes the pork and chicken were good too. Oh, i made two trips to the dessert station, they had bread pudding to die for and lots of different types of mini tarts (MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM)
We took a lot of pictures too but it was with my brothers camera so i have to wait for him to put them on the computer, he won't let me do it. So once they are on the computer i will post them here :)
