Jamestown

Sunday afternoon the rain let up and we headed to Jamestown. There we toured the site of the first English colony in America.
Our history curriculum covers Jamestown over the next couple of weeks. I think the kids will have a much better appreciation of what the people endured after our visit here.
There were glass blowers performing their craft. It's amazing to watch.
After Jamestown we went on to Yorktown. We watched the orientation video and then drove around the battlefields a bit. The rain returned so we decided it was time to head back to the hotel and find a restaurant.

I know your trip was back in September, but did you realize that when you were in Yorktown you were 5 minutes from our house?
