Found via the KnitPicks Podcast on Impractical Knitting – MochiMochi Blog We Will Rock You in Klingon TuesdayThis morning was market day. After a prolonged perusal of wares at Williamsburg, I took a trip to the Knitting Sisters and acquired a (ahem) modicum of fiber. In the afternoon I drove to the Mariner’s Museum which houses the remains of the Civil War battleship USS Monitor. If your remember your Civil War history, this was the ironclad ship dubbed cheesebox on a raft.
Today I spent the whole day at Williamsburg. Even though this is a second visit, I’m finding more and more to do here. Today started with another long visit to the Palace kitchens. Then a Crystal Concert that included a glass harmonica, a glass bowed psaltery, a set of glass bells for ringing, and a glass violin. After a dinner at the King’s Arms Tavern and a fine glass of ale, I attended A Grand Medley at the Kimble Theatre and laughed so hard that my ribs ache two hours later. Take one down on its luck 1790 theatre troupe, two German twins, three Cherokee Indians, a ferocious porcupine, puppets, a juggler, and mix well with other assorted mayhem. Irma Vep seems like Shakespeare’s King Lear by comparison. SaturdayAfter 23 episodes of the KnitPicks podcasts on Friday night and Saturday morning, I reached Mount Vernon this morning. The weather is grayish and blustery, but the rain is holding off.
The sign of the day was spotted in the Mount Vernon Museum. Please don’t photograph George Washington’s teeth.
I also stopped at Arlington National Cemetery to pay my respects. Sunday
