Saturday, we started at Yorktown. We perused the visitor's center, including the introductory movie, and then did a driving battlefield tour. It had 6 stops, including a couple we had not been to--the Moore House, where the terms of surrender were decided and Surrender Field. We got out at each of the stops and walked around. It was a beautiful day and it was great to be back at Yorktown.

Our original plan was to visit the Yorktown Victory Center, but the kids decided they would rather go to Jamestown Settlement. So, after about 2.5 hours at Yorktown, we headed to Jamestown, stepping back in time. We had lunch at their café and then spent time in the museum and outdoor areas. A few photos from our visit there:
I didn't take any pictures of the ships, which I think is one of the best parts. Anyway, we left Jamestown around 3:30 and got food for dinner and for the the car ride home. We hung out in the rental, did some laundry and started packing.
I have always wanted to go to Jamestown. It sounds like a lot of fun- Summer
