Colonial Williamsburg Part II

Ok, yes, I know… I’ve been a terrible blogger. Those of you who follow me on facebook know many of the reasons. The top reason has been Mr. Bob, my horse. He’s in full time training and between him and the business my time has been limited. Anyway, I finally got around to writing about the rest of the trip to CW. Here are the photos… Enjoy!

There was SHOPPING…. Lots and lots of shopping! We also had a great opportunity for experimental archeology. The weather did not exactly cooperate the entire trip. We had sun, snow, sleet, rain, freezing temps, then sun again. This, of course, taught me what I need to add to my wardrobe to winterize it. More on that later.

We had a lovely tavern night with new friends.

And the highlight of the trip for me was the last day. My wonderful husband gifted me an extra day and so we strolled on the sunny streets of Colonial Williamsburg, took a carriage ride, and had a private tour of the stables.

In short, the trip was absolutely magical!

We also had a private photo shoot at Bacon’s Castle with the lovely Lauren, from American Duchess. Hop on over to her blog post to see the photos…

And finally, I have some exciting news coming up with regards to this blog. I am working on rebranding myself and working on my workshop at home. More on that later too.
