Friends at Christmas

December 9- 29, 2025

We enjoyed the opportunity to meet with several friends over the month of December. Most of whom we've met through kite flying. 

We strolled Colonial Williamsburg with Adam and Joyce, and Glen and Tanna. Glen and Tanna are very familiar with Colonial Williamsburg, and we were glad for their expertise.

Charlie and Joan were thrilled to see so many kite flying friends in their neck of the woods - when there wasn't even a kite festival! It took several attempts, but we were finally able to get everyone together for a late breakfast one morning.

Later, Mearl and Adrianne, who lived just over an hour away, invited us, along with Glen and Tanna, to their lovely home for a gracious meal. I even learned what a porte-couteau was. It's a French term for a knife holder for a table setting, in case you're wondering. 

Charlie and Joan took us to Busch Gardens for the Christmas lights followed by a drive through the Newport News festival of lights. A great visit that heightened the anticipation for the upcoming month.

Colonial Williamsburg Trip

December 11, 13, 2025 

Colonial Williamsburg is a must for those interested American history. We were quite privileged to have such fans with us on our first couple of visits on this trip. They could recite dialog from the visitor center film featuring Jack Lord. Our friends knew the shortcuts to different buildings, the best views, and the best places to park. The parking was definitely a key thing for the Grand Illumination at Christmas. It was rather chilly out!
