Celebrating Sales
What better way to celebrate a new sale than to meet author friends for dinner? My friends Amanda McCabe(shown on the far left) and Diane Gaston (far right) joined me in Colonial Williamsburg for an authors’ night out. Both came down to tour Jamestown and the historic triangle, so we agreed to meet for dinner at the Kings Arms Tavern. If you’re a historical author, you just can’t miss out on an 18th century reenactment dinner. We toasted sales and spent a wonderful time together.
The servers at The Kings Arms Tavern are all dressed in 18th century attire, and there are entertainers who wander through the rooms, playing mandolins and singing. I absolutely loved this 18th century dress and couldn’t resist taking a picture.
Some of the foods they serve include savories (toasted bread with chopped ham and relishes) and Sally Lunn bread. They also serve a peanut soup, but I’m not quite brave enough to try it. The thought reminds me of drinking melted peanut butter. 
If you ever come to Colonial Williamsburg, definitely try one of the taverns. It’s a fun experience, and one you won’t forget. 
Have you ever been to a reenactment dinner of any kind?

It just so happens I have been to a reenactment dinner at the Kings Arms.
A big congratulations on your new sale.
Melissa Mc Says:
Oh, what a fun way to celebrate, Michelle. I recognize those two authors. We shared a hummer limo to the HQ party in Dallas.
I have been to a reeanactment dinner/show at the Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas. It was a lot like medieval times with knights and jousting. A lot of fun.
Oh, not quite the same, but there was the Titantic Dinner we went to in April. We dressed up for that one and each had a role as did our servers. That was a blast.
Someday when the kids are a little older I want to take them to Colonial Williamsburg. I’ve never been there myself!
