Colonial Williamsburg again...


The chores were completed and for 20 stars the girls earned a carriage ride... plus the dishwasher got emptied and the laundry sorted!

We wanted Mr Bob and his steeds, Captain and Ranger but instead got Mistress Kate, with Thomas and Jeremiah. We went off-road and the girls were bemused - they wanted the proper tour down the streets.

Thankfully we spotted Mr Bob in the blue carriage and waved wildly and then met the stage-coach 'driver' under one of Williamsburg's speciman trees - a Compton Oak - whilst we picnicked. We'll go communal with him next time... It's a longer ride and the girls love meeting crazy tourists who hold our accents responsible for colonisation.
