Day 4 of vacation

Day 4 Williamsburg, VA

We spent the morning checking out Colonial Williamsburg. We arrived in time to see some re-enactments of Colonial life, but most of the time we just walked around. The grandkids found some people who taught them to play some old-fashioned games like hoops, yo-yos, etc. We tried to go on one tour of the Governor's Palace, but granddaughter had an urgent call of nature, so we had to leave early.

The best part of the day was them learning to be archaeologists -- see the first photo. They were shown how to dig softly in the sand and found bones, chips of dishes, pipe stems, and even a piece of old glassware. Some students from William and Mary were their teachers.

We saw a few animals -- sheep and cows, but they weren't allowed to touch or feed them.

Since we didn't have a stroller for them to ride in, we cut the day short. We did eat at Chowning's Garden Tavern but then slowly made our way back to the visitor's center.

We spent the rest of the day relaxing at the hotel.
