Goodbye Williamsburg

Saturday, August 31 - There's never a dull moment in Williamsburg.  Just after we'd checked out of our hotel and were heading back to our car, two guys in colonial garb walked up to the front door - one with a gun, and one with a drum.  Sandy asked one of the guys, "Is something going to happen?"  His deadpan response: "Yes, ma'am."  OK, so we can't get into the car yet.

The guys walked into the lobby and yelled, "Troops, fall in!" and the drum started playing.  Both kids and adults fell into line, and they had a brief drill in the courtyard on commands like "about face."  Then she soldier said, "We will march to the Capitol."  And sure enough, they did.  The lady in the purple shirt bringing up the rear was particularly into it.  As we got in our car and started to drive down the street, we could still see them marching!  Well done, Williamsburg.  Well done.
