Williamsburg was great!!! When we came into Williamsburg, we went to the King's Arms tavern. ''Twas great food. A lady who was going around the tables approached us and introduced herself as Molly Campbell. We asked her if she was related to Christiana Campbell, and she said she was. Christiana was her mom. Molly emphasized that her mom's name is Christy-ahhna, not Christina. She also said that she has a sister, not a brother, named Ebeneezer. At least, that's how you pronounce it. But spelled Ebenezer. They called her Ebbie. Ebbie was able to get married before Molly. Ebbie was named for Ebenezer, her father, who died a month before she was born.

There was a special law passed so that Christiana could purchase her own tavern. She paid her money. Christiana's tavern is located right behind the House of Burgesses. She probably got a lot of politicians for customers. George Washington, according to Molly, ate at the tavern over 90 times, and his favorite dish was the oysters. His mother made oyster ice cream for him. That doesn't sound too appetizing, does it?

Molly also gave me 200 colonial dollars, which is about 60 pounds (British money). I can bring them in after spring break, along with the pin she gave me. I got a picture with Molly.

After dinner, we went back to the hotel. The next morning, we had breakfast in the restaurant in the hotel. Then, we hiked down to Christiana's tavern and took some pictures, since we couldn't go in. It's closed until April 3. Bummer. Then we weaved our way back into town. We took some small tours of the jail and the governors palace. The governors palace scares me, after the ghost tour we took. Did you take one of those? Then, we went to a cool play of some sort, which told the story of a slave who ran away to the Shaunee Indians, and was re-captured. It was cool. Then, it started raining, so we went to the hotel room and put on rain coats, and I put on my awesome rain boots! Then, we went to a museum to see a special Martha Washington speech of some sort. It was cool. After that, we took a tour of the Randolph house, And spoke to people. Oh, yes. We had lunch in between Martha Washington and Randolph house. By then, it was pouring rain. We went to see the weavers and the wheel/wagon makers house thingys.

At night, we went to the ghost tour. Eve is very violent and scary. She was apparently bitter after being caught. She and her son were separated. She now haunts the Randolph house. Eve was Betty Randolph's slave.

Also, I got some pictures on the stocks!!!

I have started reading The Hunger Games on my kindle. 'Tis great. SPOILER ALERT!! Rue dies.

Christiana was rumored to be four feet tall and four feet tall. Molly denies it. She says that Christiana was AT LEAST five feet tall. No comment on the wideness.
