Colonial Chocolate
Sunny but 26 degrees this morning...burrrrrrr. It was great to finally sleep in and relax before heading out to Colonial Williamsburg. To all of you:
Although the temperature reached 51 degrees by 2 pm, it was still chilly. As always, Karen was very thoughtful this morning leaving Bill a nice Valentine's card.
We enjoyed strolling main street and visiting several shops. We learned that in colonial times chocolate bars had not been invented. Instead, it was served heated in liquid form in a thimble size cup. Of course we had some in two stores and it was rich and yummy!
Since Bill did not even think to get a card, Karen made sure he won't forget the next time!
Next stop was the Silversmith shop. So being a wise old man, Bill bought Karen a pair of beautiful earrings to celerbrate this special occasion. He planned this all along!
After stopping in a couple more places, it was time to go back to the timeshare for some R&R before dinner. After a rest stop, we attended a re-inactment/talk by a 17th Century Jamestown women about her experiences in 1620. After the talk, we had dinner at Sal's by Victor - a real Italian restaurant. They made Karen a special dish and Bill had delicous Manicotti dish.
We bought a 3-day Colonial Williamsburg pass - so more to come. Happy Valentine's Day.

After a nice lunch at the Blue Talon Bistro, we continued our tour of the Governor's Palace. First stop, the kitchen.
Next, the Palace itself and its many rooms.
