Yet Another Collection of Colonial Williamsburg Photos

Apparently my habit of only posting every couple of months still continues! But hey, at least I'm still blogging kind of frequently, right? ;P The worst thing about being away from my blog for so long, though, is that I come back and have so many lovely posts to catch up on! Really, as I scrolled through my reading list on here, I think there were probably twenty or so posts that I need to read. I think I'll try to do that after I finish this post, although I can't say I'll have the time to comment on each of them! :)

So it's no secret on here that I love to visit Colonial Williamsburg. It's such a picture-perfect place, with its quaint buildings, beautiful gardens, and lovely shops (my favorite is one that sells 18th-century style gowns and accessories!). These photos that I'm going to share today are from two different day-trips that my family took to Williamsburg: one way back in April, and one in August. (I know, I'm super behind on posting these pictures!) I hope you'll enjoy scrolling through them!

This picture was taken in the Mary Dickinson Shop (the one I mentioned earlier that sells gorgeous gowns and accessories). Can I please have that lovely blue floral frock?

Just trying to be artsy by taking a picture of where I'm standing. ;P

I hurriedly took this picture as we were leaving, and I just love how it turned out. With no tourists to be seen, you could almost imagine that you're getting a true glimpse into a garden in colonial days. For that reason, this is probably my favorite of the photos I took on our afternoon visit in April!

Now for the pictures from our quick visit in August! (I say quick because we couldn't have been there for much more than an hour. It was so hot that day that we didn't really feel like staying much longer! Haha.) But anyways, isn't this garden just gorgeous? I love all of the vibrant colors, and how peaceful it seems.

This house kind of reminds me of Green Gables. 💕

Just some colorful summer blooms. :)

Alright, I think I'll end here to keep this post from being any longer! But before I go, I'll give you a few quick, random updates about life lately:

• I am officially a senior! It's quite exciting, but also rather nerve-wracking at the same time. I'm trying not to get stressed thinking about all the different things that need to be done before starting college next fall. I think I've pretty much decided on the university I want to go to, but I'm still all over the place about what I might want to study! I think it's because I have so many different interests--art, English, history, math (that last one was definitely a joke!). But all I can do is just keep praying, and I know that God will show me what I should do. :)
• I finally finished the Jane Austen-inspired shawl that I mentioned in this post! Once it cools down enough so that I can wear it without overheating, I'll try and take some pictures of it soon and do a post about it. ;)
• I'm going on a trip to New York City next month! I've never been, and I'm really looking forward to it. A friend of mine at church and her dad (who is also the youth pastor at our church) were kind enough to invite me to come with them, and of course I said yes. It's funny because NYC has never really been somewhere that I've dreamed of visiting, but now that I have the chance, I'm so excited! I'll be sure to take loads of pictures and do a blog post about it afterwards. 

Hope you all have a wonderful week!
