W-Burg 2010: Day 3

The Dude is fascinated by maps. Which is good, because the Garmin seems to increasingly be violating Asimov's first law of robotics.
Well, when you go to Williamsburg, everyone gets in the pillory. Yeah, you'll probably get swine flu. But isn't such a memento worth it? Hogun...
Fandral...
Volstagg!!
If you go to Williamsburg, find out where George Washington is and interact with him. He's fantastically brusque, correcting you if you ask a question or make a comment out of chronology. I said to the Dude: "Say 'hello' to the general." GW said: "Colonel, sir. Colonel." I asked him his impression of the Marquis de Lafayette and his response was: "I don't know the man, but he sounds French. And as you know, I recently experienced some unpleasantness with the French." Awesome.
There's nothing quite like ambling around the historic area of Colonial Williamsburg with 40 pounds of squirming toddler atop your shoulders.
We threatened the Dude with jail for the first half of the trip. "Eat your food or they'll take you to jail." "Take a nap or they'll take you to jail." Unfortunately, jail turned out to be a helluva fun place.
Bye bye day 3.
