That's My World Tuesday: U.S. Independence Day

Sunday, July 4, was the United States Independence day and July 5, 2010, Monday is a holiday in the U.S. since July 4 fell on Sunday this year.

I have posted about Colonial Williamsburg, VA for My World before but I had a bunch of shots from that trip which I haven't used. The shot above is of a quilt in the Folk Art Museum in Colonial Williamsburg.

I thought it was appropriate to post photos from Colonial Williamsburg today (although they are autumn shots) because they recreate events leading up to the revolutionary war as well as some scenes after it began.

The balcony scene and the shot below are of the Colonial Capitol building.

The next shot is in front of the Capitol building where people gather and the actors play out scenes from the beginning of the Revolutionary War which took place between Thirteen former British colonies on the Atlantic Coast of North America and the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Most of the scenes played out in Colonial Williamsburg relate specifically to the colony of Virginia. The next two shots are of the colonial Governor's Mansion.

The shot above is the part of the mansion overlooking the Palace Green and the shot below is of the gates on the other side of the mansion leading through the drive and garden.

The next shot is of one of the smaller houses on the Palace Green.

The next house is much larger and I don't remember if it had any particular significance.

They have carriages (open and closed) which people can have rides around the town in but we did the walking tour.
