The Governor's Palace











These gentlemen were preparing an arbor for the plants this summer










This musician quizzed Greerson on his piano practice habits. He also told him that he could tell him his last name if he lived in Williamsburg during the 1770s, because only two households had a pianoforte.


























We got up early and went to Colonial Williamsburg. Greerson wanted a three corner hat so we found a store and outfitted him for the day. We were fortunate enough to hear Thomas Jefferson deliver a speech at the local theatre and later in the afternoon the Governor of Virginia delivered a speech concerning the Boston Tea Party and the repercussions on the Bostonians. The Capital building was really cool. Greerson was called up to demonstrate where the brand was placed on a convicted felon. We had Virginia Ham sandwiches for lunch. Boy were they salty!!! Dinner was great we went to a reastaurant called Seasons. Greerson gave it a four star rating. The only restaurant he has given a five star rating is Wendys! We also attended a trial at the court house. It was interesting that they had twelve justices versus jurors. We had a great day and are headed to Monticello tomorrow.
