Downtown Williamsburg is purely magical! I love love love this town! We parked the car and just started to walk. Not really knowing where or what we were gonna do, but it was great!

I took pictures of a lot of the store signs, I thought they looked cool!

As we walked we found a part of town that you could not drive on. It was strictly for walking or horses. So neat! The homes, and stores were old and historic!

This outdoor store/market was so neat! They sold plants, cotton, seeds, hand blown glass-ware, they even had pomegranate trees!

As we walked through this part of town, we started to hear something like drums, and flutes (fife’s similar to a piccolo). As we got closer, we saw men marching in uniform. We came upon this field and talk about being at the right place and the right time, they were starting an American Revolutionary War Reenactment!

Seriously? Can it get any cooler than that? It was an amazing experience our family had! The kids LOVED it! They wanted to pack our bags and move to Colonial Williamsburg that night! We will for sure be coming back for a visit!
