Today was a fairly early (7am) wake up followed by the horrific news of impending rain. However, we shrugged it off and I dressed in my colonial finest (Williamsburg jacket, Jas Townsend skirt, and corded petticoat) for the day! It was very hot and I barely made it through (exaggeration....or is it?) but it was so much fun! We spent a long time in the printer's shop, watched the Revolution in the Streets program, which involved some Abe Woodhull level spying, for anyone who watches Turn, went on a Bits and Bridles tour where we saw he Marquis out of character, and visited the art museum. We also went to the March to Yorktown program that we attended yesterday, hoping to see the dashing Marquis again, only to find out that they alternate characters and he wasn't there (sobs). We stumbled back to the hotel, almost dying of heatstroke, and got cleaned up before heading to the Governor's Palace for a night of dancing aka modern Pride and Prejudice. I danced twice, both with Mr. John Marshall, who goes on to become a Supreme Court justice and is a big APUSH name! His modern counterpart is actually married to a costumer who I know from her blog, so it was cool to meet him (I might have actually fangirled).
We're in the restaurant now, so I'll try to post some pictures later. Tonight is going to be crazy; we have to pack up ours things, get all my things together for move in, do laundry, shower, etc.
I'm a little tired.

Wow -- dancing with John Marshall! Did you whisper in his ear, "I predict that someday you'll decide a case called 'Marbury v. Madison'..."!
