Williamsburg

So we  went to Colonial Williamsburg, and first thing we did was go on a tour of the Governor's palace. It was huge! The tour guides talked to us and explained what happened here like we were actually there way back when :)

As soon as you walk in there are swords and guns EVERYWHERE. The guy said that together
all the swords add up to 1.2 Million dollars.


Ball room

Organ/ piano :)
After that we went to the Capitol building and walked through that. Then we ate lunch and went through this cool church.


We also went through this museum which is where the first Mental Hospital was.
The patients room's originally in the hospitals

The patients room around like 1845 ish

Strait Jacket

cage?



They also had a cool re-enactment where the soldiers marched in with the band(?) marching behind them. After they got organized into rows, the General's inspected the soldiers to make sure everything is in order.

Inspecting the troops :)
Then George Washington rode in on his white horse and also inspected the troops!

It kinda sucks blogging way after something happened, cause you can't remember anything!! Well.. If you wanna know more just go to my mom's blog haha :) 

Next up: Maryland!
