Day 10

We woke up and drove to Williamsburg right away. After printing our tickets from an electronic machine, we went to the costume rentals. The lady there fitted Leah, Natalie, and I into dresses, sashes, and mob caps. She gave each of the boys a tricorn hat. After paying, we went to the RevQuest (Revolutionary Quest) information desk. The man there gave each of us a red bandanna and an envelope with instructions and clues. We got on the Colonial Williamsburg bus. We stayed on the bus for a few stops, then got off. The first thing we did was walk to the Governor's Palace. We took a tour lead by a lady who was very into character. She did an excellent job! When the tour ended, we walked towards a house just to the right of the palace. A woman was standing there with a red and white ribbon on her. We followed her to the back of the house. She was supposed to be a slave who was also a spy. Her "code name" was 368. (Liberty) We were suppopsedto be keeping the identity of someone named James Armistead Layafette a secret. We stopped multiple other times on this "quest", from tight spaces between buildings, to behind prison doors, to meeting with a British spy. It was actually really fun. We also stopped at multiple places which were on an additional map we got. When we went to five of the places, we got a pin with cows on it. Yes, cows. No, I do not know why. At four'o clock, we went to Shields Tavern for a closing ceremony for the RevQuest. The man gave us coins that said Colonial Williamsburg on one side, and RevQuest: The Lion and The Unicorn on the other. After that we walked to the gardens and looked around. Then we dropped off our costumes and headed out. We ate at Golden Corral. It was just as delicious as last time. We ate everything from chicken to steak to chocolate-dipped strawberries. Yum! After dinner (and dessert) we went back to Williamsburg for our ghost tour. It was a really good tourwith some great information and ghost stories. After riding back to our cars on the bus, we drove to our motels and retired.
