December 30, 2021 - Williamsburg, Virginia
We had visited Colonial Williamsburg back in July (Link). At that time we bought a year's pass -- which is not much more than a single day pass -- because we had heard Colonial Williamsburg was beautifully decorated during Christmas and we thought we might see it. And here we are!
We arrived in late afternoon while it was still daylight (and a little damp). We checked out a few craftsmen shops and walked around.
In the daylight, the decorations consisted mostly of wreaths on the door and maybe pine boughs around the door frame.
Whoops, don't want to end up here!
My smartphone camera does an excellent job with low light; although this picture still looks like it was taken in daylight, it is actually starting to get dark.
Lynnette is standing outside the George Wythe House. Wythe was an impressive man. He was a tutor and friend of Thomas Jefferson, the first professor of law at an American college, and first Virginian signer of the Declaration of Independence.
George Washington used this house as his headquarters in 1871 before the siege of Yorktown.
A close-up of the Governor's Palace. It is almost dark now and you can see candles in all the windows.
A huge Christmas tree shines brilliantly in Market Square. The Colonial Parkway runs almost directly underneath this area -- but you can't see or hear it.
