A Walk Back in Time...

Today we took a little trip to Colonial Williamsburg. We had a wonderful time learning more about that time in our Country's history. It was amazing to see how large Williamsburg was - I had no idea. We really enjoyed looking at all the Colonial homes. Morgan and I might just move there - we LOVE colonial styled homes! Anyways, here are some pictures.


This is the Governor's Palace. Who needs a Governor's Mansion when you can have a Palace? This was the largest building in Williamsburg - even more so than the Capital Building!



There were people dressed up everywhere in the clothes of that time. It made it feel like you had walked back in history.



The Capital Building. This was the first capital of Virginia. Did you know this was were the Revolutionary War started in Virginia? (It also started in Massachusetts in the same week)



Andrew and I in the Armory. They had rifles and other weapons in there that were over 300 years old - pretty neat.



Andrew started to act up - so we put him in this contraption for a while. (He was actually an ANGEL all day long)



Once Andrew got out - he ordered us in for a few hours. :-)



We walked through some of the streets to pick out "our homes." This was mine - isn't it a beauty?!



Here's the back yard. I can see it now....



This was Morgan's house. I think that it will be big enough.... not sure though....


While we were there I reflected on how grateful I am for the faith of our Founding Fathers. I cannot imagine what they must have gone through to ensure the liberties and freedoms that we take for granted today. I know that our Founding Fathers were lead and inspired by our loving Heavenly Father. I'm so grateful that they knew and understood the importance of religion and were able to found our nation upon that. It's good to think about those types of things - makes you proud to be an American!
