On Veterans Day Kari and I took a day trip to Williamsburg, VA. The day provided perfect weather and the Fall foliage added to the charm of the village. Can't wait to go again!
Looking down the main street. Clear blue sky all day!

Basket maker.

This guy made rifles.

A Shakespearean play.

Front of George Wythe house...our street address in Ohio
was after his namesake.

Back of Wythe house.

Front of the Governor's Palace.

Back of Palace.

Parlor inside the Palace.

"No Stamp Act"

Sitting room/Bedroom

Bedroom area.

Entry Hall of Palace.

Upstairs bedroom.

Ballroom. At one time this was the largest room in the state of Virginia.

Dinning room.

Detached kitchen on the grounds of the palace.

We saw buggy rides....

...and carriage rides.

The leaves were gorgeous!

It was like they were on fire!

So sunny and cheerful looking.

They had a parade in the afternoon...

...and Veterans followed ranks. Some of them were very emotional.

They had a special ceremony honoring our veterans. They fired they cannon.

Patrick Henry spoke.

George Washington addressed the men too.

What a great way to celebrate our Veterans! I hope we can do it again in the future!
