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!

Here is the living room! It is a peaceful haven to relax and read in. It holds our non-school bookshelves, the piano and our record player!
Here is the big window across the room from the sofa's shown above. The trees in our front yard provide a park-like atmosphere!
This is the foyer.
Here is the family room. It has horrible lighting, so the picture is not my best. The window on the right looks out into the backyard, which is also filled with trees! There is built in bookcases and a fireplace on the other side of the room, but those aren't completely box free yet.
This is a small part of our school / toy room. We are waiting for another bookshelf to come in, so the rest of the room is in limbo right now! (The aforementioned room also holds Brian's big screen TV)
Mom and Dad have the back bedroom!
Brian and Josh share the room in the middle!
It snowed last night!
The kids (and Mom) enjoyed playing in the snow and helping Dad shovel!
Christmas Eve! 
...and the food!
Christmas Morning
Brian getting his first (and probably only) Ford GT!
Boo was a little overwhelmed when she was yanked out of bed at 6:30 in the morning, whisked away to the living room and told to open her stocking! Once she realized there was candy in there, she was fine!
Boo's new Dora tent!
Leah with her Belle Barbie
And Mom and Dad relaxing on the couch amidst the chaos!
