Visited colonial Williamsburg today. Such fun! The governors mansion was first. The foyer had 500+ weapons on the walls and when the British governor fled in the middle of the night, all those weapons and the magazine went with him. 92 slaves ran the house and farm. George Washington used the palace as a field hospital during the revolution and Patrick Henry lived here as provisional governor after the war. We also saw the milliner, silversmith, musket demo, and trials in the court. Found a diner for lunch!
