Happy Fourth of July to all!

What better way to prepare for this historic holiday than to visit a place ...

Where Patrick Henry is still eloquently delivering his, "...give me liberty or give me death." speech.

Where Martha Washington is still rallying the people to support her husband's efforts for a free and independent nation.

Where slaves are still dreaming to be free

Where Thomas Jefferson is still urging the people to unite behind the ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

Where the newly approved Declaration of Independence is still being read, printed  and circulated discussed in the streets and taverns

David and I experienced all that and more when we went to Colonial Williamsburg for a vacation. It was one very interesting and memorable experience to see the restored town of Williamsburg brought  back to the colonial days when America was still on the verge of becoming a nation. Colonial Williamsburg is a living museum where people dress in the costume of the period, doing their daily activities in the same manner that they would have been done at that time from the use of the spinning wheel, to making herbal concoctions to treat ailments, carriage rides, and children's games to mention a few.  

 For someone like me who is contemplating on becoming a citizen of this country, there is no better way to start falling in love with this nation than a trip to Colonial Williamsburg.
