I feel silly getting excited over such a trivial thing, but I can now say I have been inside a Seven-Eleven! It wasn't as awesomely amazing as I expected, but I think I prefer Seven-Eleven to Holiday.
In other current events, my group of eleven took a tour around Hampton Harbor. It was so amazing. We saw Fort Wool and the naval base. I saw so many battleships, helicopters and submarines, and our super tour guide, Dave told us alot about the history and names of the vessels, as well as the history of Hampton harbor itself.
Yesterday, (monday) I went to the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum, which was way more fun than it sounds. We saw british and colonial art and artifacts, along with an exhibit on the public hospital for the mentally ill. After looking at the exhibits, we headed into the auditorium to listen to an interactive speech for Martha Washington. It was fascinating, because the actress portrayed Marhta so realisticly, I felt as if Martha Washington was actually in the room.
Tomorrow, We plan to spend the whole day in colonial Willimsburg. I did make it to Williamsburg Sunday morning. We went to the cabinet maker, the brick maker, the printing shop, and my personal favorite of the day, the book binder. I watched them all make their wears by colonial methods, and I am now the proud owner of a hand-made calf skin bookmark that was made right before my eyes.
I will try to post again about my travels in Virginia, but no promises. See Y'all on Monday!
