Night out on the historic tizzzown...

I had to at least try and make visiting Colonial Williamsburg on purpose sound more fun. Just kidding Tyler!- it was actually a cool experience. Even cooler because we were baby free! The girls spent their first night alone over the weekend with a babysitter that wasn't a grandmother. Fegan kept the girls overnight Saturday night and we got to experience Colonial Williamsburg at Christmas. We live just an hour away and Ty has been wanting to go since we moved to Richmond. It was the perfect time because they have lots of pretty Christmas decorations and do some special events for December.
We walked all around on Saturday (cold!) and took tours of the historical buildings and everything and then Sunday we did some outlet shopping on the way home. It was a really fun quick trip! We are so thankful to be able to leave the girls and know they are in good hands. They always have a blast with Fegan too. I wish we had family closer too, but am so happy for a wonderful babysitter!
Here are a few pics from our trip... The Fife and Drummers were awesome to see. Everybody was dressed in 18th century clothing and we kept thinking about how different it would have been to wear those kinds of things. The swords are all from the Governor's Palace...
