God Save the Queen!

Big News in the 'Burg!

For a few short days, Williamsburg is privileged to have Queen Elizabeth II as its honored guest to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the landing at Jamestown. It has been 50 years since QEII has visited the 'Burg. My father was telling me during the Queen's 1957 visit his mother dragged him to Chicago to see her. He was 8 years old and remembers nothing but a discussion about the number of shoes she must have!

While I don't really care about the number of shoes she has, it was exciting to get to see the Queen up close. The Queen's carriage was followed by a carriage with retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. I didn't know that Justice O'Connor was to be in the entourage. Unfortunately, I put my camera away before I spotted her.

Here are some of the better pictures from the outing. Her Majesty looks good!
