Casia and I took an amazing field trip to Colonial Williamsburg yesterday. Shortly after our arrival, Casia decided she wanted a colonial dress as an early birthday present. It looked so cute on her, I couldn't resist.
For twelve hours we visited historic buildings, took tours, listened to the expert docents, and enjoyed the ambiance of the village. Then we ended the day with an excellent show called Cry Witch. It was a mock witch trial where we got to participate by deciding the innocence or guilt of the accused. Casia was thrilled when we got selected to sit as two of the twelve member council. We sat up with the judge and got the best seats in the house for this well acted performance.
We got caught in a torrential rain on our long walk back to the car. Soaked and tired, Casia proclaimed this outing as the best field trip ever!

This looks awesome! Love the colonial dress :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emily. The dress has inspired Casia to learn to sew.
