For Halloween this year we went to
Williamsburg to take their famous Ghost Tour. They hold these tours all year long, but we thought it would be fitting to do it closer to Halloween to get in the spirit of things. It was very interesting and very fun. We headed up earlier that day to take a look around before the tour began. It was fun to see all of the old buildings and
cemetary and what not. Both Tony and Brian (Tony's Brother) are pretty big history lovers. So just learning more and seeing the sites was a great thing. I enjoyed the beautiful structure of the many different homes ... I'm a big fan of the Victorian style homes.
I was even lucky enough to be able to feed the horses ... at first we didn't think we had anything of value for them to eat but they followed me up and down the fense smelling the delicous caramel apple fragance on my fingers. Luckily we didn't eat it all. So I bit off the as much as I could that didn't have caramel of chocolate on it and feed these precious creatures a treat. I really do love how beautiful they are.
The tour was great fun. It started at 8 o'clock at night. A guide walked you around Colonel Williamsburg by candle light. Telling stories of people who lived there and what their lives were like, many of them were murdered or died due to diseases. Many of them were funny (at least I thought so). Some of them hard to believe. But I guess that's why it's fun ... because you can believe what you want to.
I'm sure that we will be heading back up there in the future.
