Williamsburg and then Norfolk

I love this pictures of the girls



The Governors Mansion



Colonial Time Outs






We spent the morning at Williamsburg and then the afternoon in Norfolk at the Chrysler Museum of Art. We got to see a large collection of Tiffany Glass, and their awesome collection of Egyptian art which we have been studying. The display includes a sarcophagus, plaster reliefs with hieroglyphs on them, and a large statue of Sekhmet, the warrior of Ra.

They also have a collection of Greek art, including a replica of the Discobolus and several of the redish orange and black vases. Which will be cool the reference when we get to Greece in our Art History.

Also got to see, and then hear the history on, the Norfolk Mace.

We also drove past, but didnt go in, to Naticus to see the USS Wisconsin. We also got to see the Naval Shipyards on our way through the tunnel.

Then we went home.

The End
