Rest Stop in Williamsburg

 Last week Trish and I were in an intensive week long workshop in Connecticut. When we finished and headed to North Carolina, we had a day to stop somewhere and rest.  We stopped for the night in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, one of our favorite places.

We like to stay in one of the historic Colonial houses right on Duke of Gloucester Street and this time we were in Brick House Tavern.  This way we can walk all over the Historic District right from our room.  It makes the whole time there better.

After moving in, we headed out for some exercise.  We enjoyed stopping at the blacksmiths’ shop, right next door to our lodging.

In down the street we visited the dyeing and weaving house and watched weavers making various samples while they told us about what they were doing.

One of the nicest things about this time of year is that the tulips and other spring flowers were in bloom.  We wandered through gardens until it was time for our dinner reservation.

Even though this was a short one-night visit, it left us rested to start the next week’s travel and work.
