Scottish Bag Pipes in Colonial Williamsburg at Bruton Parish

We had the privilege to film this gentleman while he performed outside of Bruton Parish church in Colonial Williamsburg on May 16th, 2009. The time was about 7:45 PM just before a concert in the church. I myself love listening to the bag pipes and it is a rare pleasure when one can get to view a musician actually play them. One of the many incredible events that take place around the Williamsburg Triangle.

Trader Joe's, A Great Place To Shop

We have to report on one of our favorite places to shop. Although the Historic triangle is loaded with a tremendous amount of great places to visit and shop, one of the top best of the best is without question, Trader Joe's. We have been shopping there for some time now and they constantly continue to impress us more on each visit.

So we spoke to the management of the store in Williamsburg, though it was not an official interview, the conversation started with our praise of their constant outstanding attention to the customer. It's what they call the customer experience. Let me tell you, you have to visit this place to truly understand what the customer experience is. It's far and above just really great customer service. So much so that Trader Joe's has no competition in this market. Everyone we met loves their job. (This is truly rare). Every company in the world could learn from these folks. Trader Joe's has earned our dedicated loyalty for years to come. Oh, by the way, their prices are equally outstanding and mostly unmatched.

Yorktown Seized by Blackbeard's Pirates, Blackbeard's Crew

Yorktown was seized yesterday, (May 2nd, 2009), by Blackbeard's Crew. A surrey bunch they were too. Blasting the area with their canons, recruiting new pirates and training them for battle, showing those of us who were captured what life was like in the days of the early part of the 18th century, overall giving us a great idea of what seafaring life was like.

Presented by Blackbeard's Crew from the Hampton area of Virginia, these scalawags put on a great performance. Impressed with the detail of their costumes and camp exhibits, this team of men and women did a fantastic job of entertaining the guests of Yorktown Beach.
