The College of William and Mary

The College of William and Mary is literally right across the street from Colonial Williamsburg, so we didn't miss the opportunity to visit another college on our trip.  Again, the campus was beautiful and made enough of an impression on Elizabeth that she's now expanded her college list to include it (along with Yale and Notre Dame).


James Madison is buried at the college. 


And this happened.  A group of three guys made a beeline for Lee as we were leaving campus.  One of them handed him a slip of paper, which contained information about a class he was taking and that he needed assistance.  Lee was happy to oblige and a short game of charades ensued.  Eventually, it became clear that Lee needed to get him to the base of tree, doing this.  The other two guys videotaped the entire encounter for their class.  It was quite amusing and they all shook hands when the task was complete.  No words were spoken the entire time.
Thomas Jefferson was everywhere during this trip.
