On the third day we spent the day in Colonial Williamsburg, VA. Williamsburg was the Second Capital after Jamestown. It was also the location where the first seeds of colonial Americans revolting from their British Government. At Williamsburg they have restored and rebuilt a small town the way it was back in 1776. They have many of the building of government as well as a demonstrations of many of the skills of the day, such as: blacksmith, shoemaker, Carpenter and of course a Cooper. This place is really quite neat, it has a tone of actors that are in constant character. They had a fife and drum march where they marched through the streets. It was a quaint village that was awesome at immersing you in the past.
