Saturday was our last day of "freedom" to do something fun as a family before Jared would start classes again. We decided to go to Colonial Williamsburg to do the tour of the Governor's Mansion. When we got there, however, the tour wasn't quite what we expected. The mansion is actually shut down during the weekdays until late January for some extensive cleaning, repairs, and updates (They're adding wiring for electric lights instead of candle light). On the week-ends, it's open for limited tours, but we only get to see the entry way, ball room, and dining room. It was actually cool to see how they clean it all, but it didn't make for very good pictures because everything was covered in plastic. So, Jared and I are planning on going back for a full tour when it re-opens, and we'll post some inside pictures then.
As it was, we explored the gardens again after the inside tour. It is so beautiful there! This is definitely my favorite place in CW!
The maze in the mansion gardens
A better view from where we were standing to see the maze. We were on top of the look-out which is built over where the ice house used to be.
