Colonial Williamsburg

This was George Washington's
favorite tavern in the day!

Today we left Aquia :-(  Next stop is Williamsburg. We are staying at the American Heritage RV Park. Colonial Williamsburg requires a lot of walking, and we did not have a lot of time so we were able to see quite a bit from the bus and made reservations at the Christiana Campbell's Tavern and bought tickets for Cry Witch: a play where we are the jury in a candlelit inquiry into the charges of witchcraft brought against Grace Sherwood in 1706. The audience was invited to question the witnesses, weigh the evidence, and determine the guilt or innocence of "the Virginia Witch." 
The Queen's attorney, the Magistrate and the accused witch!
God Save the Queen!


The food at the Tavern was delicious, it was fun dining by candlelight and well worth the trip, time and money!

We actually ended up sitting on the bench with the magistrate and were transported back in time and determined the guilt or innocence (heck, she was guilty and we all knew it!) of poor Mistress Grace Sherwood. LOL

  1. It has been way too long since we've been there. Gotta fix that!
