A few weeks ago I drove to Colonial Williamsburg for the afternoon. This is the first place I’ve visited since moving to Virginia last month. The weather was perfect and warm enough that I was carrying my coat as I walked. This was a very unusual thing for me to do in January! As I walked around I decided to take some pictures as souvenirs of a mild winter day in a historic area. Right now it seems more like winter to me. However it should warm up in a few days and then I’ll have to go on more adventures.

It was wonderful to see these bright colors.

What a beautiful looking place, Meg, and such fine weather. I can hardly imagine going out without a coat on in January here.

Colonial Williamsburg has something for everybody. I love that history is brought to life, the park is super clean and the restaurants – and ye ole taverns – offer vintage meals accompanied by spoon bread and apple pie with cheddar cheese.
