Christmas in Williamsburg

Much to do and see in Colonial Williamsburg over the Christmas holiday.  As was the tradition of the day, during festive periods the public buildings would be lit to celebrate the holidays, a significant public event or royal birthdates.  This year in the days leading up to Christmas several buildings were illuminated with torches, the events marked with narration and musket fire.  It was a couple nice nights out in olde towne.

Torches blazing and fife and drum band marching - Dylan was enthalled

Touring around Virgina

Dylan and I have been enjoying some time exploring with Bernie. We have been touring around locally in VA, exploring Yorktown and Williamsburg and even got to a game of Hockey which Dylan seemed to really enjoy. It has been great having Bernie around.

4th of July

We enjoyed a lovely weekend in VA, it started with a local street parade which Dylan seemed to like alot, so much so that he wanted to try and join in. On the 4th we took a bike ride down to old town Williamsburg were we enjoyed some July 4th re-enactments including the reading of the delaration of independence. Dylan wasn't quite as interested in it as Les was so he found a garden to play in. Of course an independance day would not be complete without a BBQ with friends; a great afternoon was spent with Josh, Kim, the girls and some friends of their's and finally a local Fire works display 5mins walk from our house.
