Last Saturday was one of those days that the boys declare the best day ever. We headed out after a leisurely morning watching cartoons and hanging out in
PJs. After a quick run past D's work (always a treat for the kiddos) we went to lunch and then headed to our old neighborhood to drop off bag of Halloween costumes. The quick drop off became a nice couple hours shooting the breeze with friends and the kids running around and playing on the trampoline. We left there and finally traveled toward our originally intended destination -- Colonial
Williamsburg. Our happy group arrived in time to get a few pics of the decorations in the village; the decorations are fun to look at because they are supposed to be made of natural materials that could truly be found in colonial times. Even the boys love to look at them and do a
amateur judging.
After a quick dinner we walked back tot he governor's palace to watch the illumination. Large torch baskets are lit at the front of the buildings on either side of the village green and in front of the governor's palace. The fife and drum corps plays and at intervals a cannon is fired and the procession halts for a brief description of the building and the family who originally lived there. At the end the fife and drum corps plays Christmas carols as the crowd disperses. This was the first thing this year that really got me in the Christmas spirit.
love and hugs, B
