Colonial Williamsburg
We got away for the weekend and visited Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. So much fun! As you can see, we got ourselves into a little trouble. We came to the conclusion that while the town is great, colonial food is not our favorite. We took a ghost walk (somewhat chilling), a walking tour discussing how the "other half" lived (enslaved inhabitants of Williamsburg... very good), and a walking tour of "necessities, niceties, and luxuries" (don't even get us started on that last one... ICK!). Colonial Williamsburg is definitely worth seeing. We hope to go see Jamestown and Yorktown, on a future trip, as well as some plantations.
In other news... I have a job!!! I start on Monday, so I have this week to mentally prepare. I will be working at Community Connections, which is in an... um.... "exciting".... part of DC. Technically, I will be a "Community Support Specialist," and I will be going in-home to provide all sorts of services to chronically mentally ill adults. David and I weighed the options, and it seems that this position was just the best fit for me, all the way around. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

My friend is a history-NUT and wants to be one of those reenactor people in Williamsburg! I wonder where he is now...
ooohwie a "Community Support Specialist" sounds very warm, caring, and special. :) So you will be with adults. This will be an interesting avenue- Good luck preparing mentally for the rest of the week and I'm praying for your first day on the job!!
Hello! Thanks for congrats and good luck wishes and prayers. :)
:) I can't blame your friend for wanting to be a reenactor, Esther. It looks pretty cool. :)
Hey,Esther... could you tell me the name of the city where you are and your phone number please (by e-mail or whatever is best for you)? Actually... how about your whole mailing address? Thanks. :)
That's Awesome! Congrats on the job!! I hope your 1st day goes great...
lol...what exactly does colonial food consist of?
:)
Colonial food consists of... boring food. ;) We had a burger, pot pie, breads (corn and other) with butter, and gumbo. They had some fish and... chicken. Just kind of boring "American" food? I think part of it is that they say it's prepared as it would have been "back in the day," so it's fine... just not exciting. ;)
