Off for a visit to Williamsburg, Virginia ...
Waiting for the ferry from Surry to Williamsburg, we daydreamed out loud about what it would be like to live along the James River here. We agreed it's quite beautiful, even on a day as windy as this one was, and, we agreed it would be quite cold come winter!
Seagulls everywhere! They follow the ferrys back and forth across the river.
First look at Jamestown ...
... Jamestown from a different angle.
We don't see robins in Florida, so this little fellow was a sight for sore eyes. And, he had a worm for his lunch!
Love the period clothes!
A plant nursery ...
Magnolias in bloom ... another thing we don't have in Florida.
A grave marker dated 1784.
Shopping!
Williamsburg is where I discovered crewel work when I was 20-something. Don't you just love the colors of these yarns?
Lots of roadside stands ...
A traditional child's "toy" ...
Hats galore, their ribbons blowing in the breeze!
I simply loved the gardens best! They are beautiful to behold!
The architecture of Williamsburg is unique to anywhere else I've ever been ...
The church ... this was a very important part of life to the early settlers of Virginia and to the founders of Williamsburg.
And, of course, no trip to Williamsburg would be complete without a visit to the Governor's Palace!
We walked for nearly three hours, so when I saw this guy, I knew it was nap time!
