Dances with Colonials

[resqgeek]

We're back from our weekend in Williamsburg. I'm tired and probably should be off to bed so I can get up early to head to the office. However, I wanted to write about last night. Originally, we were thinking about taking the girls on the "Legends, Mysteries, Myths and Ghosts" walking tour yesterday evening. I've heard that its a really fun tour, but when we checked on the availability of tickets, we discovered that it was sold out. The ticket agent suggested an evening of Colonial period dancing instead (which wasn't included on the published schedule). We met at the Colonial Capital, and sat on the benches in the House chamber, while four couples in period costume demonstrated the dances of the period. The also pulled us out onto the floor to join the dances, always staying in period character. At the end of the evening, as we were leaving, the younger Qgeeklet went to each of the actors and gave them hugs, charming them to the core. Truly a memorable evening.
