Sabbatical Blog: 9/18 Colonial Williamsburg, VA - Charleston, SC

9/18 Williamsburg, VA – Charleston, SC
We scored some free passes for Williamsburg. We first had breakfast at the Colonial Pancake house.. It was a good greasy spoon kind of joint, but it was good. We walked through town again, but only really stopped in the James Craig Silversmith shop. We had a chat with the resident silversmiths who still make hand made jewelry and such by the colonial methods. We continued through town and decided we’d seen enough, especially after discovering how stroller unfriendly the individual shops are. So we headed for the car, and began our 7+ hour drive to Charleston, SC.

It was a full day of driving. We got into the hotel late, and learned that we made a mistake in booking our hotels. We somehow skipped a day in our reservations. So they took us in a day early, but were nearly full. Sadly, we had no choice but to take a smoking room (with a 1000 point credit). It was tolerable for a night. I’m surprised how sensitive I am to even the residual smoke particles and such.

The next day we moved to our originally scheduled room. Much nicer to be in the smoke free environment.

We don't have a lot of pictures from this day... just a few photos we took at a rest stop somewhere in North Carolina.


We let Kylie out to run-around and get some of the wiggles out. Here Traci was tickling her.
