The winds were quite strong by the waters today so to be prudent, Mattias stayed behind at the boat while the girls and I drove an hour to Colonial Williamsburg. When we arrived, they were outfitted in costumes of Young Misses and were able to participate in several activities including gardening at the Colonial Gardens, picking up a letter at the post office and going to the printer to place an advertisement for a woman needing a nanny for 10 naughty children. The girls also learned some manners such as the proper way to curtesy (sp?). We visited the DeWitt Decorative Arts/Rockefeller Folk Art Museums and created some Christmas Ornaments as well. It was a fun day and we were not hampered by winds on our trip.
We intend to be in this Deltaville location until at least Sunday when the winds and waves are intended to die down. On the coast the waves are expected to be over 30 feet tall. Luckily we are inland! More later, Carrie
