Colonial Ella on the Road

Ella spent four days in Williamsburg with Granny this week, and two of those days were spent in full colonial costume. We took the ferry at Jamestown, and she loved feeding the seagulls. She walked on Duke of Gloucester Street and visited the shops. She rode in a 160 year old carriage that has also carried Queen Elizabeth. She had lunch at the Trellis (where mama and daddy met), and in the evening she saw a colonial variety show at the Kimball theatre.

The next day we went to Jamestown where Ella boarded the Susan Constant, played indian games, ground corn, and saw a great horned caterpillar. She scraped a deer hide with an oyster shell, and drew pictures in the soft sand.

While she loved the attention the colonial costume seemed to draw, she will tell you that her favorite part of the week was playing tennis.

I've included a picture of a giraffe tongue, and just to clarify...there are no giraffes in colonial Williamsburg. They are from an earlier trip to the Richmond metro zoo.
