(Continued from Page 1) where choices in public accommodations are limited, our kids were easily impressed by the amenities of urban living that city kids take for granted. Not many youngsters from Richmond or Northern Virginia would let out shouts of surprise at a rather ordinary motel. Of course, not many kids from Sperryville would be awed by Old Rag or Stoney Man blanketed with snow, either.
After unpacking and more squeals as the kids saw their rooms, we walked to the Williamsburg visitors center for a movie. The devotion to freedom expressed by George Washington, Patrick Henry and young Tom Jefferson in the film “Story of a Patriot” seemed more meaningful this year in light of the national challenges our country now faces.
Judging by the spontaneous applause from the kids at the end of the movie, they too were moved by the church bells proclaiming Virginia’s independence as the Unior Jack ran down Williamsburg’s flag pole for the last time and was replaced by our Stars and * Stripes.
Later, , at the Wax Museum, the history lesson continued. We saw Pocahontas save Captain John Smith, Indians battle settlers, tea dumped into Boston harbor. Molly Pitcher load a cannon on the front lines of battle and Gen. George Washington cross the Delaware in an open boat on a freezing Christmas Eve.
