As you know from the Skyline Drive posting last week, that the Saint and I were recently in Virginia. We chose Virginia as our vacation destination for one reason...
That reason being, to help the Saint's parents celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary! Again, Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad B.... 
The fog lifted and we had a beautiful drive along country back roads for most of our journey. After checking into our hotel, our first stop was to check out the campus of William & Mary. We were greeted by this beautiful garden.
We went inside the Wren Building which is the oldest college building in the United States. It was erected in 1695-1699. They still use one room as a classroom today.
On the wall inside the hallway, we found this tablet. Dad B has been working on the Family History for some time now and spotted what he believes to be a relative on the tablet. Booth Armistead being the name. How interesting that was to us all...
We found this beautiful little garden on the campus. Look closely on top of the gazebo and you can see a student taking advantage of the many nut trees on the campus. Okay not a student but a cute squirrel. Cute, because he was not in my yard wreaking havoc.
Okay, lets parade our way into Colonial Williamsburg today. We shall see Jamestown and Yorktown, another day.
Here is the Town Courthouse were lots of rules and regulations were made over the years. 
Look at this beautiful tree showing us its Fall colors along the main street.
Just why is that ladder on the roof of this Colonial house?
People admire the houses in Williamsburg but I am always busy looking beyond the walls for things most people don't notice. I bet a lot of gardeners do this as well.
I peek behind and beside the structures to see what landscaping I can spot.
These courtyards may be Colonial but they sure do remind me of sights I have seen in Charleston and Savannah.
Clay brick walkways and white picket fences are everywhere and so inviting.
I am glad I don't have to clip that hedge!
This courtyard had brick along with crushed oyster shell pathways. The ivy was so lush and green. It looked like a nice spot to escape all the tourist out front. 
Mom B and I were amazed at this garden we spotted behind a house. 
The raised beds were all cleaned out and ready for the next planting but look at the flowers surrounding the outside of the garden. 
This plot was large and the flowers went around the entire thing. They were so pretty and full of blooms! We had to drag ourselves away from that beautiful view. Look how nicely the herbs continue to grow.
Look at that huge oak tree on the lawn by where we indulged in some hot cider. Yes, that is a family beside the tree having a picnic. Compare them to the size of the tree!
We found a garden that we were welcomed inside. I don't recall ever seeing Pomegranates growing on a tree before. So this was a treat. And what is the other red stemmed plant? Rhubarb maybe?

Look at this beautiful tree showing off its bright red colors for everyone to enjoy! 
Look at the same tree when the sun started to set. 
The red berry's on this tree remind me that Christmas is just around the corner in WILLIAMSBURG and In the Garden...
