Colonial Williamsburg VA

While visiting Williamsburg VA last month while we were staying in Norfolk  It was a wonderful day to enjoy being outside and I had walked the the William & Mary campus soaking up the history, such as the beautiful field

This where the students AND faculty mustered up before marching off to join George Washington!

George Washington and support the revolution as it drew to a close in nearby Yorktown!

BJ really enjoyed the museum which an extensive and diverse collection of furniture, paintings and other early American artifacts

The original William & Mary college building, still functional and in use today! 

On the street in Williamsburg I was fortunate to run into Thomas Jefferson. He was enjoying the bright sunny day to and watching the people go by as he sat on a bench on the street!  He showed me a draft he had of the Declaration of Independence.

We talked about his visions for the future of the country and sacrifices so many had made and would make.  Before he left me he invited me to stop by Monticello, his home in Charlottesville VA When  I was next in the neighborhood!

Downtown Williamsburg

Williamsburg is a living history of the early formative days of our country and I would urge anybody that values the freedom and liberty we enjoy to visit it.


Always at home, no matter where we are!!
