Colonial Williamsburg

Tuesday morning it is actually a bit cold. I had to put the heat on for a few minutes this morning. Just to get the chill out, but it was down to 63 degrees in the RV. We tried a local establishment for breakfast this morning, Astronomical Pancakes. Now reading the little write up about this place on-line I was lead to believe that the name came about because the pancakes were astronomically good tasting, although that is true, the fact that they are astronomically large could have been a factor. Steve had a western omelet and I had the berry delicious pancakes. Oh it was a wonderful breakfast! I had some of Steve's omelet and he helped me make at least a dent in my pancakes. What I really needed was a hungry family of four, then maybe I could have finished it all.

Now with our stomachs overly full we are off to experience colonial times. We got to see, Patrick Henry speak to a crowd in the gardens of the Govenor's Palace. Then we went to a museum to see a performance of America's Music. Right around the corner from that was a Baskin Robins, I wasn't aware that Baskins Robins was popular back then, but what do I know. From there we went to Kimball Theater to see A Conversation With George Washington. Then there was trouble brewing in the streets down by the Raleigh Tavern when news came in from the battles of Lexington and Concord. After that there was an altercation and a man was almost tarred and feathered. But in the end he decided a public apology was a better idea and he was forgiven.

By now we are ready to go back to the 21st century and get pizza for dinner. We found a great pizza place and ate again to excess. Back to the RV from there and day four is done.
