Colonial Williamsburg - Sunday

Today in Williamsburg we were not able to accomplish much because of a thunderstorm. We arrived while the weather was still lovely and had lunch in the Merchants Square part of Williamsburg on an outdoor patio and then proceeded to Bruton Parish Church.



This was particulary exciting for Darren since he has been reading quite extensively about George Washington and was familiar with the church already. Bruton Parish Church was attended by many prominent men of the Revolution, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Richard Henry Lee, Patrick Henry and George Mason. It is an Episcopal church that has been in use since 1715 and is stil serving actively today!
