All of a sudden it is like springtime here! The sun is out and the temperature is in the high seventies. Our room at Market Square Inn is almost exactly half way between the Capitol building and the College of William and Mary. In the mornings we walk down near the College to the Blackbird Bakery and get Hot Cross Buns for our breakfast. Then we walk and visit cottage industries, colonial houses, and historic public buildings. We have been having a great time!
We had a nice visit at the tailor shop where we could talk fabric and sewing! The tailor was charming.
Our visit to the Capitol Building was filled with history. Though reconstructed after its destruction by a lightening fire, the present building sits on the same foundation as that occupied by George Washington, Patrick Henry, and many other Revolutionary era leaders. Much of the structure of our nation was hammered out right here in this place.
As spring comes forward there is more and more outside activity here since numbers of visitors grow with warmer weather. We had horses and oxen working all around us as we took our walks everywhere.
Trish and I ended each day with dinner at an historic tavern. On our last night there was a Lenten Season organ concert at Bruton Parish Church and we ended our evening there. All of our time was splendid!
