Thankfully we didn't spend all of our last three days at Colonial Williamsburg, or I'd be needing more than time to heal my wounds (and other people's wounds). On October 12, we parked near the Merchant's Square area to be closer to the the folk art museum. After taking it in, we were off to Richmond. We chose to the visit the Edgar Allan Poe Museum. It actually isn't a home of his, although he did grow up in Richmond. The museum doesn't allow photography or video inside, but I can tell you it has a large number of manuscripts, items of clothing he wore and furniture he used, along with other personal items. There is a great deal of history about his personal life and development as an author. It's a charming small museum, which was amusingly enough preparing for a wedding as we left. There was sadly no time to visit the Richmond Capitol, designed by Thomas Jefferson, so, once again, there was a drive by only.
We then met Kent's cousin and his family at Pizzaro's, which was very yummy. There was a final stop at Whole Foods after dinner, as I was tired of seeing bananas for $1.50 each at Colonial Williamsburg (I guess it would have been a luxury for the colonists too). Then back to the resort and bed.
