These dolls were in a box in an outdoor, tented market stall on Duke of Gloucester Street in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Vendors in Colonial dress were selling all sorts of related gizmos – penny whistles, tri-cornered hats, butter churns (OK, just kidding on that last one.)
I have photographic evidence of my teen daughter wearing a replica of a late 1700s women’s cap, also for sale at the stall, but I can only push the Blogging Mom thing so far!
Check the Colonial Williamsburg Monthly Specials page for deals on lodging and admission, and the Calendar page for upcoming events and focused tours for children, like a chance to be a pretend trade apprentice (like a weaver or silversmith.)

I just checked out your blog and read your most recent post. Williamsburg is one of my favorite places! We hope to take our kids there soon. I can’t wait to read more ideas for great family trips!
Anyway, I have started a blog about Frugal, Family Fun. I am writing about destinations around the Raleigh-Durham area and places accessible by either long or short road trips from our area. I want to reflect on my family’s adventures and help other families find frugal ways to have a great time exploring! I like your approach on your blog and am interested in reading more.
I wanted to let you know that I have listed your blog in my list of “Interesting Related Blogs” posted on my blog. I am just getting started, but I have material coming soon about several destinations.
I look forward to reading more on your blog.
Again, I am just starting out, but can be found at http://destinationguru.blogspot.com.
Happy Travels!
Thanks for writing about family travel. As for Williamsburg, my husband and I last went before kids. I think my six-year-old will really enjoy it–the dressing up, etc. We may try for December–it is quite a festive place during the holiday season and it is a relatively short drive for us.
Hi Val,
Thanks for your comments and the link; I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog. Will check out yours as soon as I can!
