Christmas in Williamsburg

Ronnie and I went back to Williamsburg to see all the pretty Christmas decorations and to see some things we didn't have time to see while his parents were in town. Our passes expire at the end of the year and it was a beautiful sunny day so we took the opportunity to go!

Governor's Palace
 
 The maze in Governor's Palace gardens


 
There was a little market and garden.


 I loved their mini greenhouses.
 



I love all the wreaths in Williamsburg. They are so pretty!!
They are made with fruits and other fresh things.
 



 
We stayed for the illumination of the palace green. That was pretty cool! They had the revolutionary band with drums (which are my favorite) and torches. They would say "The Governor's Palace" or the name of the house and shoot their muskets and then light the fires in front of the house until the whole street was lit up. So fun.

So glad you got to return to Colonial Williamsburg, and it looks like you had a sunny day this time. What a lovely place it is! The wreaths made with fruits, etc. were so colorful and pretty. And the night ceremony sounds very patriotic and enjoyable. It's great that your pass was still in effect so you could enjoy such a wonderful visit!
