Day 22: Tysons Corner - Williamsburg VA

We spent the morning in gridlock, the afternoon in an episode of Cranford. Neither was completely comfortable, but one was a lot prettier. We have so far only really explored the Governor's Palace and the eateries here at Colonial Williamsburg TM, but we have tomorrow morning to try out the rest of this historical Disneyland. And to drive half way to Texas...

Today's statistics:
  • Started driving: 9.40
  • Stopped driving: 14.48
  • Miles: 152 (the traffic was awful)
  • New State License plates: 1 (just 1 to go! Come on North Dakota!)
  • Favourite license plate: MR1DRFL
  • Years travelled back in time: 235
  • Backseat vomits: 1 (we were prepared this time)
  • Brunch: Panera Bread, Dumfries
  • Dinner:King's Arms Tavern, 18th century
Today's Discoveries:
  • Adam was the best babysitter ever (not least because of the assistance given on Super Mario Bros 2)
  • Today was "one of the days I'm never going to forget" (Chris).
  • Chris hasn't quite grasped that we didn't actually go back to "the real olden days". This may affect the above statement.
  • The oft-sung about Sally Lunn is a bit like brioche.
  • They didn't make left and right shoes in the 18th century - it was cheaper just to make them the same.
