Day Trip to Williamsburg

Yesterday, Emily, Abigail, Sarah, Zola, Caroline and I went to Colonial Williamsburg for the day. We mainly walked around the streets and went in a few stores. The part of Williamsburg that I like best is walking around all the gardens and looking at all the fences with flowers and the courtyards. I love to just sit in the courtyards and dream of having a beautiful yard or garden like so many of the homes in Colonial Williamsburg have. It is so peaceful and calming to me when I sit in the courtyards and gardens — even with people walking around looking at everything. 
We had lunch at the Cheese Shop and ice cream at Baskin Robbins — I think Sarah’s favorite part of the day. I usually take lots of pictures when we go. Yesterday I think I took mostly pictures of things — gardens, fences, baskets, hats, soap and all the stuff in the stores — very few pictures of the kids. There are just so many interesting and beautiful things to take pictures of there — and since I love taking pictures and beautiful homes and gardens it is one of my favorite places. 
A few pictures.

The Farmer’s Market and Victorian Day

Saturday we went to the farmer’s market and then to Victorian Day  — a small celebration at a local church for our community. It was nice to go back to the farmer’s market — the first time for us this spring. We enjoyed the day very much.

We had to park and walk a little ways to the Victorian Day celebration and we passed this house. I just thought it was so pretty and took this picture of the side of the house and the yard. There were so many beautiful Victorian homes in the area.

The celebration was small with a few vendors — ice cream, drinks, food, quilts, and music, etc.
