But as we just celebrated the Fourth of July, it seems appropriate to tout the wonders of our own country. If you plan to leave the U.S., you might want to think about seeing some of historic America before you go. Most of the following suggestions are from The Epoch Times, but I threw in my two-cents worth.<\/p><h2>Williamsburg, Virginia<\/h2><p>Williamsburg is a \u201cliving history museum\u201d about the lives of our eighteenth-century predecessors. You\u2019ll see people dressed in the colonial clothing of blacksmiths, printers, shop owners, and soldiers. Be sure to visit one of the taverns where you can enjoy a traditional dining experience with classic recipes and craft ales.<\/p><h2>Cape May, New Jersey<\/h2><p>Cape May is a picturesque seaside retreat, noted for its historic preservations and beaches. It is one of the oldest vacation resorts in the country, and it has wonderfully preserved nineteenth-century architecture. It abounds with boutique inns and restored mansions that retain the charm of post-colonial America. But, if you\u2019re superstitious, be aware that this is one place where you may encounter spirits; at least that\u2019s the local legend.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My previous two columns have dealt with becoming an expatriate.
