My meeting this fall was in Williamsburg, VA. Nancy flew out with me to Williamsburg, VA and we enjoyed the culture and the history of our past. It was 1775 and Patrick Henry had a better vision for Virginia and the Colonies. Freedom was the call and we enjoyed a recreation of the revolutionary events played out in the streets of Williamsburg. The Colonial music and street performances were exceptional. I only wish we'd had more time.
We also enjoyed some fine dining at the Kings Arms Tavern in Williamsburg. I had the wild game pie.
We also toured the area on Saturday and visited the many Colonial recreations of living over 200 years ago in America. Here is a dress factory (store) where you could be fitted exactly for the dress you need. Or, if you're a man you can buy a hat here.
We also toured the Governors mansion and witnessed the original method of brewing beer. It was all done in a big copper kettle like this, over an open fire. The amazing thing was the aroma. The hops and barley cooking over the stove...well it was more than just beer, it was liquid bread.
A good time was had by all, and we hope to do it again sometime. It's pretty interesting to see the the history of our country lived out this way. You can interact with the participants and see life the way it was over 200 years ago.
