We got up early and explored a little bit of Colonial Williamsburg, which is right across the road from our hotel.
Late morning, we met up with a Ravelry friend and did a little shopping! (Holy shoe deals!) We came back in time for registration and to meet more friends.
First, let me say - I am not one to be too bothered by heat and humidity. I live in Southern Ontario, and we get our fair share in the summer..... but Virginia... my oh my - I didn't know what humidty was! You can literally see it - it just hangs in the air,
That didn't stop me from exploring though.....
After exploring, I went back inside to make sure Mom was settled in with the other crankers
And while she was cranking, I worked on the sock I started on the drive
Now it's off to bed and up bright and early tomorrow - we're heading to Jamestown!

We call that kind of humidity, "air you can chew". Come on down to Florida, we have that kind of air all the time. LOL
Have a great time. Looks like you have a great start.
I love your pictures! They so remind me of my visit to Colonial Williamsburg. I got a huge kick out of seeing people dressed in costume, working at various tasks as if living in the 18th century. You will love Jamestown too. The glass-blowing was fascinating to me. And yeah, the HUMIDITY is something else!
The heat and humidity are terrible down here in the summer. I once had an African, that was dancing at the Folk Life Festival on the National Mall, tell me that he couldn't bear it here-it's the worse he had ever felt and he came from what was considered the hottest part of Africa. I can't bear it and wonder what my English ancestors were thinking when they settled in this horrible place. Every summer I want to move.
