Colonial Williamsburg – The Governor’s Palace, the Arbor, the Maze and cows….

Historic area, here we come.

As soon as we make it through the Colonial Parkway underpasses…..

Which were quite something in and of themselves.

A few more paths….

And we’re there.

As you can see, there’s a lot to explore.

But first?

Some cows.

Who refused to smile for the camera no matter how hard I tried.

Next up? The Governor’s Palace….

An impressive place they don’t let you inside without a guide, so we killed some time strolling the grounds.

Which were impressive as well.

Of course all that strolling made some of us weary.

No…

It wasn’t me.

 

 

But how about that arbor?

I’d love one of those in our backyard.

Along with the full staff of gardeners required to trim, train and prune it as well.

Still strolling, we found the maze.

And promptly got lost in it.

Thankfully 2 ten year olds were in there as well….

And pointed us to the exit.

If I’d known you could climb up here….

And over look the whole thing?

I would have sent the husband in alone and shouted directions.

Maze completed, we headed back to the Palace for our tour.
