Virginia...Williamsburg (part three)

We finished our trip on the east coast by heading out to Williamsburg Virginia. We had so much fun seeing all the old homes and learning about colonial times and the revolutionary war.


This is the court house in Williamsburg...the most common crime committed in Colonial Williamsburg was not going to church, you would be fined 5 shillings.

While in the court house Drew and I committed perjury and we were sent to the stocks for punishment.

The day finished up with a reenactment of the revolutionary war...it started with the band coming down the street.

and finished with the firing of the cannon.
We ended our trip visiting the Governors Palace, which was very beautiful and our tour guide was amazing and stayed in character throughout the entire tour.
This is the foyer, a little intimidating with all the swords and muskets...they covered the walls of the entry way and halls.
The kings crest, remember we were colonists at the time loyal to the king.
