Doors of Williamsburg
Sara had fun capturing some of the doors of Williamsburg. Many were decked out in their holiday finery!
Lovely Morning in Colonial Williamsburg
After the rain we have had in the area all week, we were a little worried that they day might be a little cloudy. Thankfully it was sunny and bright; perfect for exploring the colonial Capitol of Virginia. We are sad to be away from our families today, but glad to have this time together. Happy Thanksgiving to all of our readers!
Where to next?

A Peek at William and Mary
While walking to Colonial Williamsburg from our B&B, we passed by the other big draw to town, the College of William and Mary. Sara almost came here for her undergraduate studies — so it is interesting to think about what it would have been like had she come here instead of the University of Idaho. We only walked around the edge of the campus, but that was enough to be impressed with the fall beauty of the trees, lovely brick buildings, and wide quadrangles.

A Williamsburg Holiday Begins
After a long drive this afternoon, we finally arrived at the Applewood Bed and Breakfast in Williamsburg to begin our short holiday time out of town. A wonderful couple runs this three bedroom B&B, directly across from the William and Mary campus and just a couple blocks from Colonial Williamsburg itself. We are looking forward to a relaxing holiday and a little time exploring the history of the area. Sara is especially excited as she has just finished teaching her class about colonial Virginia.

Archie's Scoop: Closet Time
When my owners aren't looking, I sneak into the closet and curl up in these bins on top of the leftover bubble wrap. Sometimes they close the door, though, and I have to let them know I'm still in here. Nonetheless, closet time is one of my favorite pastimes.

Washington Fish Market
Just down from the point where the Titanic Memorial is along the waterfront, under the freeway, is this amazing seafood market. All of the stands are actually floating barges. We have always wanted to come down to the market, but have never found the chance. The market was the perfect end to our afternoon of exploring!
They will steam anything for you to eat right there
Just look at those crab legs!
These are what the region is famous for
Tasty!
So fresh
These large size crabs were just put out as we came
Exploring SW DC's Waterfront
Today we did a little exploring of the DC Waterfront area. This is a wonderful neighborhood along the Potomac River.
A look at the river
This is a great park along the shore
Other memorials and art along the way
This is a cool close-up picture of the propeller
The area has great historical connections along the SW Heritage Trail
Nothing like a little leaf frolicking to end a perfect afternoon of exploring!
