rain, rain, go away, it's Williamsburg day!

South-east Virginia is being hit with the easterners call a "nor'easter".  It is really just a storm, and it is super cold and really windy.  Despite the cold and the wind, Mom and I rented a car and spent the afternoon and evening in Williamsburg.  We stopped at the Newport News visitor center, mainly because the center was located in a park of the most beautiful trees, but we also learned about how the trees change colors and what colors, it was interesting. 
We got to Williamsburg at 3:30 rushed into town to hit Basset Hall (was once the home of John & Abby Rockefeller) before it closed at 5. Then we went to look at the old hospital, which was one of the first mental hospitals on US soil. The hospital basement is used today as a Folk art museum, in which most of the art was donated by John D. Rockefeller Jr. and his wife Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, they were also the ones who donated 63 million to restoring Williamsburg to what we know today. After museums we had an amazing dinner at Christiana Campbell's Tavern, it was amazing. I tried pickled watermelon and had my first crab cake, which was more like a pie, I was so happy to have someone to share it with.
