Coming near the end of our trip there was one place I had been looking forward to visiting, the DeWitt Museum at Colonial Williamsburg. When I was last at Colonial Williamsburg I was so busy photographing the holiday wreaths, interiors, and fashions that I ran out of time. I was determined to go there and had heard it was a museum that children would enjoy.

My friend Suzi’s Home
My friend Suzi and I met in the early days of interior design school. We were two older moms, Air Force wives, facing down dastardly professors. We were destined to become friends. Suzi is a top notch hostess. One of our best memories is the Seinfeld themed party “Festivus” she and her charming husband Ron held during one holiday season. Oh was that fun! As with all Air Force friends Suzi eventually moved away. But we still emailed and it was great fun letting her know I was coming to ... View the Post
Crossing the Delaware, Delicious Eats and a Darling Dress Shop
On a bright and glorious morning I crossed the Delaware. But it was over this bridge not via a boat. Less drama for sure. All at once we left Pennsylvania and found ourselves in Lambertville, New Jersey. This is Jersey?

Gnomes and other Garden Delights
Leaving D.C. we headed to Philadelphia to visit my cousin E., his wife Sweet T, Nene and Miss M. This is always great fun as they live in a 115 year old house and have a backyard that backs up to the forest. Oh don’t you just love this statue? I think he may be magic. Perhaps he is the secret to the stunning lilies. Or the beautiful blooming pots… …and bright pops of color. But then again, it may be the wise old gnome. Inside happiness can be found in the form of Mr. ... View the Post
Sailing, Sailing Over the Deep Blue Sea
When I last left you the military police were arresting me at Norfolk Naval Station for peeping into the backyards of the beautiful housing known as Admiral’s Row. Sailing, Sailing Over the Deep Blue Sea. Just kidding. Almost. From there we went to see the Navy’s oldest continually running hospital in Portsmouth. Sailing, Sailing Over the Deep Blue Sea Meandering around Portsmouth we came upon a floating lighthouse. I had never heard of such a thing and thought it was incredibly ... View the Post
Thanksgiving at Jamestown
I had a big elaborate post planned. I also had pies to bake, turkeys to stuff, and presents to buy. In short, I ran out of time. Still, I think you will enjoy Thanksgiving at Jamestown. Thanksgiving at Jamestown Let me say this: Jamestown is one of the BEST living history museums I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. My son did not want to leave. So without further adieu let’s celebrate the men and women who made the original Thanksgiving possible. Replica’s of the Susan Constant, ... View the Post
