Boo!

We arrived in Williamsburg around 4pm. It was a looong drive!  The only stop after the lovely South of the Border was Dunn, North Carolina.  "Dunn Nuttin in Dunn, North Carolina" that's their slogan.  lol
Once we were in Williamsburg we scouted for a hotel, since Hotwire was too unreliable.  We wanted to be close to the Colonial village, Merchant Street area.  So we ended up at Governor's Inn, which was pretty much walking distance.   We settled in and picked up some maps from the lovely Southern lady at the front desk, who has lived in Williamsburg her whole life...geez.


We started our walk back in time.  There is one main street that has an old post office from the 18th century, and cute little shops that sold balls of soap and old fashioned candy.  Everyone in the stores are dressed up in their colonial early settler attire. We walked the main street, which was really beautiful.

I'm having fun lol

 Okay this picture its actually very cool.  Look at the top right side, that yellow dot in the picture.  It's a ghost!

Horses!

Sheep! I was really into the sheep.

We also saw the capital building and the jail from the 1700s.

This is the Jail....Down the street from a small grave yard.

After a lot of walking ( it was extremely hot too, close to 95 degrees) we were tired and went back to the Governors Inn to get ready for our ghost tour and dinner.

I was all excited for the ghost tour.  I wanted to go on the tour for adults only, no kids allowed, the really scary stuff.  So, I called to buy our tickets for The Ghost Amongst Us tour, and it was all BOOKED already! I was so mad!

So, after dinner around 10:30 at night we drove to the jail in the colonial village. It was so dark, and there was not a soul around.  We pulled up right in front rolled down the windows, and turned off the car. And listened.

We both heard it!  I swear on my life!  Foot steps walking on gravel! We couldn't believe it.  We turned on the car again, pulled forward, and listened for a second time. There it was, the sound of foot steps!

So, in the end, I got my ghost tour after all.
