After a full day of travel from the west coast, Mary Ann and I arrived late last night at the lovely home of our friends, Glenn and Bonnie Krochmal. The Krochmal's live just minutes away from the historical section of Colonial Williamsburg.
We were accompanied by Mary Ann's brother, Steve Guymon, and his wife Michelle.
This morning Glenn drove Steve, Michelle, Mary Ann and I up to Richmond, VA to visit a very historic cemetery (Hollywood, where 3 US presidents are buried) and to visit the museum of the Virginia Historical Society.
When we got home, there was time for a brief nap before we had dinner reservations at a Tavern in the historical section of Williamsburg. Mary Ann and I enjoyed walking from the Krochmal’s home to the Tavern, and arrived before those who drove there in the car.
The tavern experience was great. The building is an accurate restoration of an 18th century tavern, and all the staff are dressed in period clothing.
As one dines, actors and performers wander through and provide a bit of the flavor that would have been typical for the time. The food was excellent too. The dessert may not have been entirely accurate to the period, but a large bowl of peppermint ice cream with hot fudge sauce sure finished the meal off nicely.
