I guess I don't have to tell you how much I really really loved Colonial Williamsburg. Everything there brings you back to the eighteenth century. There's lots of shops to see there. One of my (many, many) favorites was the wig shop.
Another of my favorites was the millinery, where everyone used to get their fabric goods, their dresses, and trims, et cetera.
One of the most impressive buildings we toured was the governor's palace. It was absolutely huge, and was decorated with everything from scary-looking weapons, to fine, dainty china.
My favorite was the girls' room. The frame of the bed is painted with the same pattern as the Indian dyed cloth. Oh yes.
Another of my favorites (who am I kidding? i liked it all) was a street performance.

ReplyDeleteThese photographs are amazing. All of them transport you to the lovelier, simpler time of the eighteenth century.
