Even though we changed our travel plans to avoid the snow, snow was in the forecast for Richmond on the day we needed to leave the city. We decided to visit the Virginia State Capitol, which was walking-distance from our hotel before heading out of town.
The Capitol, of course, was designed by Thomas Jefferson.
We also found statues of George Washington
and Sam Houston!
After our quick tour of the Capitol, we drove to Colonial Williamsburg, arriving just in time for lunch at King's Arms Tavern.
The food and atmosphere were phenomenal!
After lunch, we wandered around Colonial Williamsburg. It was a chilly, rainy day, so there were hardly any visitors out and about. It was actually an ideal time to visit!

The Capitol -- Will was so fascinated that he didn't want to leave!
After spending all afternoon at Colonial Williamsburg, we went back to our hotel (we stayed onsite at the Woodlands Hotel) to relax and do some laundry. As I was taking our clothes to the laundry room, I peeked out the window to see that it was snowing! It started snowing aroun 4:30 pm and continued for about three hours. It ended up being beautiful and magical and absolutely delighted Henry!
We ate at a restaurant next door to the hotel, and after our meal, the boys played in the snow, making snowmen and pelting each other with snowballs.
After trying to avoid the snow, the snow found us after all!
