In fact, I really liked it - well, Williamsburg, at least.
If you've ever wondered where they do colonial reenactments, it's in Virginia. There are 3 main settlements/battlefields in Virginia: Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown. They call these sites the Historic Triangle. I'll summarize them in chronological order.
Jamestown
Think Pocahontas. It's mostly outdoors. There are replicas of the ships that were used to first come to America, an indian village, and a colonial village. This is where we realized how hot it can be... especially when we were dressed as settlers.
This was definitely my favorite part of the experience. Here's where everyone is dressed as colonial settlers. I don't know how they where all that clothes! They also pretend they are from the 18th Century. It's really funny. The man in the first photo of this post is the owner of the wig shop. He was pretty grumpy... (as you can probably tell).
We were so excited about the full costumes, we asked to take a picture with one of the men. We told him we were from California and he asked if that was an island!
It was Michael's fault.....
There's not much here... It was where we won our independence from the British though. We reenacted the final battle. Our guide was a huge history buff and owned all this cool stuff.
