Williamsburg

Well, today I am going to give you all a small tour of Colonial Williamsburg!

Here is the candy shop, it is filled with everything from candy bins that you buy by the pound to fancy imported truffles. Then there are the caramel apples that are dipped each day in the store and covered with all different combinations of sugary goodness!
The College of William and Mary is integrated into this part of town. There are dorms that overlook the town square and classroom buildings lining the street into town.
Now we have come to the Toymaker of Williamsburg...
They have a huge selection of vintage children's books,
adorable Madam Alexander dolls,
of course there are tricorn hats and muskets,
plus a million figurines from the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World Wars 1 & 2,
and my favorite item, the title is just intriguing!
One of the shops sells colonial era clothing! Some of it is quite beautiful!
And old fashioned caroling dolls specially made for Williamsburg
(and specially priced for Williamsburg's tourists!)
We have now reached the colonial section (we had been in Merchant's Square)
All of the buildings here are original or exact replicas of the home that once stood there
I love this church building! It sits in the heart of the historical district, standing so proudly high above the rest of the buildings.
Anyone need anything tailored? Severinus would be glad to do it for you!
I think this is either a dorm or a bed and breakfast.
Both are all over the place here and have window unit air conditioners!


Finally, this is a typical colonial era house. It is two stories high with two chimneys, windows lining the front and a flat front. Behind it is 2-5 buildings that were summer kitchens, workshops, stables, chicken coops, etc...

Hope you enjoyed our tour!
