We saw the new Millennium (or Millennium-1, depending upon how you count) in at Williamsburg, where my father lives on the Kingsmill Golf Course. As usual, we traveled by auto train. New Year’s Eve was spent at a black tie party at the Williamsburg Inn.
This was the first outing for my new Fujifilm MX-2700 (1800×1200) camera, with which I am quite pleased.
They are constructing a “kitchen” behind one of the houses in Colonial Williamsburg, using 18th century techniques, of course. But wait. What’s that metal scaffolding? After they’d already built an 18th century scaffold, OSHA made them use a 20th century one. Your tax dollars at work.
One of the things Colonial Williamsburg is known for at Christmas is its decorations, which use all natural ingredients, in the style of the 18th century. The average wreath is replaced once or twice during the Christmas season because of squirrels!
