HOMEWARD BOUND

Williamsburg, Virginia
Friday, February 27, 2009
70 F and Sunny

Today we tried to soak in enough sunshine to last us until June when the sun might shine again in Erie. We discovered New Town-a whole village that looks something like Williamsburg, with townhouses, shops (Barnes & Noble, Chico’s, Starbucks, Ann Taylor, Cigars, etc), a movie theater, restaurants, and cute cafés. We visited Colonial Williamsburg, strolling along the streets. Trees are budding, forsythia bushes are flowering, and lettuce, onions, and herb seedlings are planted in the gardens.

For dinner we ate at Captain George’s. This restaurant has been Tim’s favorite since the early 90s. He enjoys the seafood buffet with King Crab legs/$28.95. I like the fried shrimp, scallops, and baklava and that is about it. Anyway, we always make a trip to Captain George’s on Richmond Road for Tim.

Afterward, we stopped at the Christmas stores so I could find an Old World glass cruise ship ornament new this year. This is not Tim’s favorite activity. Anyway, the ornament was not in stock.

We were very amazed that there has been so much construction in the Williamsburg area. I hope this all turns out OK, because we really enjoy the area.

Culinary Delight of the Day: Virginia peanuts; TK: King Crab Legs; JK: baklava

Note to our dear Granddaughters: We made a stop at the CWF Visitor Center for a toy stuffed old world sheep for B2-so irresistible and the Williamsburg Toymaker for special colored pencils for B1.
