Colonial Williamsburg Free for all Veterans this Veteran’s Day 2009!

Once again in honor of Veterans Day 2009, Colonial Williamsburg is offering free admission to veteran’s and their families. Active duty military, guard and reservists, retirees, veterans and their dependents enjoy free admission passes Friday through Wednesday, Nov. 6-11, 2009.

If you live anywhere near Colonial Williamsburg and can take advantage of this offer, do it! We have been able to attend for the past few years and it is always a wonderful adventure. Many of the local hotels also offer discounts to veterans during this celebration.

Colonial Williamsburg ticket prices range from $18 to $36 dollars, so this is an incredible deal for military families!

Here is an excerpt from the Colonial Williamsburg website:

The service member need not be present and free passes will be provided to immediate family members of currently deployed troops with appropriate identification. Military veterans who separated before retirement can bring a copy of their honorable discharge paperwork, DD Form 214, as identification of service. These tickets are available only at Colonial Williamsburg on-site ticket sales windows.

There is also no limit on free tickets for family members as long as they are direct dependents. A big family bonus!

Provisions

Don’t you just love it when God provides an unexpected blessing? Last Thursday at church I was chatting with friends about our camping trip and a friend offered to loan us Therm-a-rest camping mats as well as warmer sleeping bags. I followed her home from church and picked up the supplies. Those camping mats made a huge difference in our trip. We were very warm inside our tent even though it dropped below freezing the first night. The extra sleeping bags allowed the kids to double up and they stayed warm as well.

After our camping trip we had planned to stop on the way home to pick apples at a farm. We were all so dirty and tired we decided to skip the picking. The kids were disappointed but they all understood. Then on the way home we came across a pear tree. There were lots of pears just laying all over the ground in perfect condition. We took them home, but I am not sure about eating them. Can you help me identify these pears? Also do you have any good pear recipes?

I came home from the weekend and had an email in my inbox regarding free Colonial Williamsburg tickets for veterans. I am so excited that we will be able go again and we will all get in free.

After our perfect camping weekend I couldn’t have dreamed that it could get better and yet now we have a trip to Williamsburg planned for next week. The kids are already counting down the days until we leave!
