Blog Day # 126 in a day of my life. Celebrating-Anniverary-Retirement-and Sherry's birthday-with a trip to Williamsburg Va. tomorrow!

     The last week of June and the first week of July, is and has always been a very busy time for us. First- we were married on June 25th. Now Sherry has retired July 1st. and her birthday is July 5th. And in there falls the fourth of July! As each year comes around to that time, we try to find something interesting to do. This year we decided to venture back into history and take advantage of a area only 3 1/2 hours away. Williamsburg-Yorktown and Jamestown! Yes, we will be leaving in the morning- and staying in historic old town of Williamsburg!


    We have been here before a couple times- first many years ago when the kids were small and I think 4 or 5 years ago. We always did the tourist thing- but this time we want to really explore. Step out the door so to speak, right onto the streets of Williamsburg. Feel the excitement and what it must of been like all those many years ago!

 


     I AM A HISTORY BUFF! Anything from ancient times , I watch and wonder how and why this and that was done. Above is the horse and carriage of williamsburg-one of the many there.


Yes, there are four seasons in this historic city-town. Although not much snow-it does come there !
  As does beautiful fall days!



        I love the quaint buildings- just imagine, these were built back in the 1600 to 1700 hundreds!


     The everyday lives of the people back in those days , were hard and full of labor.



     Trips must of been exciting and long- "ARE WE THERE YET?" Wonder if that was said?

     We plan to spend three nights and come back home on Saturday. Have to do the chores! LOL

     We will have a picnic supper on the lawn of the Palace- listening to the band and watching the fireworks. We are taking our bikes to explore and sneakers for run-WALK! I have an adversion to running! LOL



All in all, it will be a fun time-just the two of us. We are taking wine and tonic and vodka-limes.
We will explore William and Mary college. Do some shopping at the Pottery Barn.




The fireworks should be amazing- sitting right here in front of the palace in reserved seats.



In our married life- we have been many places- on our return trip for our honeymoon in the Dominican Repblic- we flew into Toronto Canada. Passing over the USA in the dark-we could see fireworks, as it was the fourth of July. Now we are going to be almost where this country all started those many years ago. Williamsburg Va.


     AS I STATED AT THE BEGINNING-I AM AND ALWAYS WILL BE A HISTORY BUFF!

SO TODAY IS WAIT FOR IT TO GET OVER DAY-COME HOME AND PACK AND LEAVE EARLY IN THE MORNING TO VENTURE SOUTH. WE WILL SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING AND CHECK INTO OUR ACCOMANDATIONS. THEN TO THE LAWN OF THE PALACE TO HEAR SOME MUSIC-EAT SOME SUPPER-SIP SOME WINE AND WONDER IN THE MAJICAL FIREWORKS HOW LUCKY WE ARE. FOR WE HAVE EACH OTHER-AND IT WILL BE ANOTHER FOURTH OF JULY RO REMEMBER!  HGD   WE WILL.
