Williamsburg!
First of all, the colonial part – the section of town that’s a completely preserved colonial village, complete with people wandering around in full era costumes and horses and vendors selling lemon soap (which I totally bought, because it was the best-smelling thing EVER) and slate boards – is really very cool. We had Ploughman’s lunches and pulled pork sandwiches at the Dog Street Pub, and then wandered around for a couple of hours climbing on trees and such.
And then we went to an old-fashioned candy shop, and of all the amazingly delicious-looking things available to him, what Indy decided he wanted to buy a lollipop with a bug in it. A scorpion, specifically. Which my son (enthusiastically) and then my husband (reluctantly, and only because he was on the receiving end of a triple dog dare, and everyone knows that you don’t turn down triple dog dares)…ate. Like, the scorpion part of it. They ate it.
They put a scorpion in their mouths, and swallowed it.
This makes me shudder in the very depths of my soul.
(I also learned that I need to tell you guys where I’m going before I get there, because I’m getting all sorts of amazing recommendations from you and want to make sure I get them in time to actually do them. So, next up: Asheville!)
