Hey and welcome to my venture to Virginia.
So let me tell you a little bit about my trip..
It was kind of funny actually.  I had signed up to go on this trip
but never expected that I would be able to go.
Last year I had went to Florida on a Spring Break
trip with a group from my college.  So I went ahead and signed up.
Then the day before they was suppose to leave
they came and told me someone had backed out and wanted
to know if I still wanted to go, I said sure! So off to Virginia we went!

We got to the Hotel late, so we didn't have much
options on where to eat... we ended up going to some restaurant
that cost way to much and the food wasn't all that great.
So we ventured back to the Hotel and called it a night.
The next day we decided to take the tour of Williamsburg... so off we went!
Okay... here is the part where we expected
this trip to be really cool... but it turned
out not to be so great... but anyway...
 the first thing we saw when we got
there was this windmill... it was pretty cool
cause the whole thing actually moved and you could go up inside it.

Here is a view looking from the same
place where I took the pic above, just looking a different way.
 

It was kind of early in the morning, not to mention
cold.... and most people was at church since
it was Sunday... so we just ventured
around awhile.  They had some really cool
flower gardens... I told my mom she would
have loved it since she loves flowers so much...
 

Here is a lovely horse drawn carriage roaming around the town.

Here is a picture of the courthouse....
they hold mock trials where the tourist get to participate..
Marnie told me it was pretty cool.

This is called the "round house" it's right
across from the court house
and is where they kept prisoners, that's
why there is a wall around it
so the guards could keep a better eye on them.

     As we keep on venturing through the city we
found this building...I believe it was the governors hall..
 I just thought it was a neat looking building...

So the next day we ventured to some battlefield...
*S*  hehe  I can't really
remember... I know we was all excited and when we got there we
was well... disappointed cause it turned out
to be a major dud.. The only cool thing
we found when we went there was these boats.

Wave Hi Lori =)

Here is a cool view looking out at some Lake.
If you look close that boat
is actually a ferry.  We tried to get our chaperone to
let us go on it, but it was
going to take to long so we didn't get to go.... bummer =)

So the next and final day of our little
venture we went and visited the
William and Mary College... It was pretty cool
Here is a view looking from the
main building.   After the tour we ended up going
shopping in some of the little shops.
 

AND THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP???
This little guy.... isn't he soooo cute!  He came right up to me
and I gave him a french fry... well I guess he really likes fries, cause
he keep on flowing me after that.... isn't he SO CUTE!!

WELL... that is my trip to Williamsburg, Virginia...  not a
totally cool trip... but not a dud either...
If you really like flowers and
are all into that colonial experience... well then I say go and have
a blast... =)  Of course we didn't get to see a
lot of the other
sights around the town, so I really can't tell you if it is a
great travel place or not.  All I know is that at our
Hotel.. they closed everything by 9 p.m. which
really was boring cause there was nothing
to do at all! We played cards alot =)
I hope you enjoyed my venture to Virginia!

Please sign my guestbook! Thanks
