We ended our visit to Williamsburg with the fife and drum march yesterday. That was probably the highlight of the visit! Too many other photographers were in the way to get a really good picture.

The tour of the governor's palace was wonderful! The tour guide was excellent.

We spent some time in the Art Museums of Colonial
Williamsburg and enjoyed that very much! The air conditioning wasn't bad either!

There were three quilts by Virginia Alsop. The one above on the right was made around 1870-80. The baby quilt on the left was made in 1852 (when she was 15 years old, I believe).

The yellow on the left was also made by Virginia Alsop when she was 15. Not bad, eh?

This quilt was made by Ruth Bower Swinney Ogden in 1839-47. The doll below shows the quilted petticoats that women wore in those days.

We could have spent lots more time at Colonial
Williamsburg, but would rather be there when it isn't hot. Spring or fall would probably be the best time to visit there.
I don't know if you can see the train in this picture. I took it from the doorway of our camper without zooming it in at all. We figure the tracks are about 30-50 feet away.
Chugga Chugga!! Luckily, they don't blow their whistle!!

Monday night I spent some time sewing and got all the
HST's (that I had made before our trip) put together for the baskets. This will be a wall hanging. You can see my tiny sewing area in the camper.

Today we travel to Pennsylvania for the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA. DH has been wanting to go to this for years. I have already staked out some quilt shops in the area - Hee Hee! We'll be staying at a state park, so probably won't have regular internet access (unless we go to McDonald's).
