Final Destination - Williamsburg, Virginia
Day 34:
Today we hit the long awaited and final stop of the trip: Colonial Williamsburg. The prices of the tickets and souvenirs were extremely overpriced, and the women at the front desk were incredibly rude, so we decided to just get shuttle bus tickets and see what there is to see before committing. There were a lot of very unique shops and very interesting characters and reenactments. The whole mile long area was intact from the 1700s. We went to a Church that George Washington would visit whenever he was in Williamsburg and his wife Martha is even buried on the grounds in the courtyard. It is the very church that inspired the separation of church and state rule. I managed to get a three-cornered hat, and a hand-carved maple fife both of which I promised my parents I would get great use from. There was a British marching band around 5:00 that played fifes and drums. The hardest part about that I would say is growing some hair and staying in formation as they march through multiple horse droppings the whole way! We ended the night with a brownie sundae and made a list of all the very funny quotes and experiences from the trip. We laughed all night. Sadly, the trip is starting to come to an end unfortunately. But fear not, there will be one last day of adventure (hopefully) and a deep reflection of the trip AND the surprise from day 6. Hang tight people!
