Return from Williamsburg

by

Amy and I returned from Williamsburg, Virginia last night. It was a great vacation, but certainly not long enough. The weekend was a bit hot for spending hours walking outdoors, but we survived and I’m not even that sunburnt.

There are so many things to do in Colonial Williamsburg, it took two days to do it all. There were even a few things we would have liked to do if there were more time, but I think we reached a reasonable limit.

Doobie mentioned the haunted houses in Williamsburg. The employees/characters I spoke to didn’t really seem interested in the haunts, but we did take the Legends, Mysteries and Myths tour in Colonial Williamsburg at night. It wasn’t quite a tour of the haunted houses; it was just a collection of ghost stories told by three characters in a few locations around town. It was still fun, though.

On the way down, we stopped to visit Becca for lunch and to wish her a happy birthday. The three of us walked around BrickFest (prior to its public opening) and saw just what dedicated people can do with Legos. Becca posted her photo of Lego Homer Simpson already, and I’ll have more photographs online eventually. (In my opinion, the most impressive was the Lego Indianapolis Speedway, complete with cars and spectators.

Aside from that, there seems to be a proportionally high number of Star Wars fans among Lego enthusiasts.

Now it’s time to plan the next vacation.

  1. Yeah, that was pretty much the same experience I had. Apparently they steer you away from the GOOD houses because so many workers refuse to go in there after experiences they had (or so they say). So, for safety’s sake (aka: to avoid being sued) they don’t do evening tours there. Both the Wythe and the Randolph houses were open during the day…did you at least tour them then?

  6. Thanks, Randi! My eye is much better.

    I’ve developed an interest in history, too. I just finished reading a book about genetic clues to human history and I’ve begun another on civilization…
