My recent trip to Williamsburg in April 2007.

We arrived here on April 2nd after stopping in Fredericksburg for a day. I had not stayed in a hotel in this area for years. I have a camping membership and usually stay there. The price was good and the room was OK. It wasn't the Hilton...but it was not terrible either. The Internet did not work in the room, that bugged me.

I have gone to this peaceful area many times in the past, but this year...what the heck! It was so crowded in the new visitor center that we just left and went onto the grounds. To my disappointment, that was just as crowded. I love this place, I love that I am finally able to get to an archaeological site and witness the goings on. This is must for all Americans...it is where our English heritage began (St Augustine was the first true settlement, but it was Spanish).

What can I say - Revolutionary City is fantastic. I felt as if we were truly part of it. When marched along side George Washington, and listened to the Randolph women argue. I heard Patrick Henry speak. I wish all school children could see this place...no one would fail social studies.

While here in April we decided to go see one of the plays in Colonial Williamsburg. We saw the Guardian, set in the 1700s. I thought my daughter would be bored but in fact she loved it. Every single seat was sold out. If I lived in VA, I would be in this town and seeing more of these 18th century plays.

I went on another one of these tours while over there. They take you inside three buildings and tell a story. These stories are based on true events and some of them even had been printed in the papers back in the day.

I am looking forward to next year and new tales to be learned.
