We spent our first day in Colonial Williamsburg with my mom while she was here. The kids had a blast - which was mostly because we didn't make them sit through anything historical in favor of eating and letting them run around the whole time. When we first got there, Kennedy and Noah randomly decided to hold hands and run to the entrance.
It was awfully cute. Up until Kennedy told Noah that they were going to jump off the curb together. Of course he didn't understand, and the both fell flat on their faces.
For Noah, the highlight of the day was most definitely riding the bus. He was thrilled to be riding on that thing with so many people. I think he would have been content to stay on there for an hour or so.
My favorite parts are the cheese and candy shops (not to mention the Williams-Sonoma) in Merchant Square, which is a modern part on the end of the historical street.
Kennedy liked the candy shop too. They had Hello Kitty marshmallow pops.
Obviously they enjoyed their candy. Once in the historical part, we stopped a lot to let the kids run. They particularly loved the big Palace Green, where grandma let them take off their shoes and lounge in the grass.
They also loved looking in the shops. We narrowly missed a tantrum when I said we couldn't buy this hat. I wanted to throw a tantrum too. It was cute, but not $30 cute.
We have year passes, and have been back already, so I'm sure we will go again before we leave.

I love the picture of them holding hands! So adorable! I want to go to Colonial Williamsburg! But I would want to do the boring historical stuff so they wouldn't want to go with me. How's the eye patch working? Did you find a good optometrist in VA?
I'm amazed Noah will keep that eye patch on. What excellent persuasive parenting skills you must have. Looks like it was so much fun! You should have offered to trade the hat for this picture of Kennedy marketing it so cutely.
