Day 7 Jamestown

Day 7

Friday, October 9, 2015

I didn't realize how full today was until now when I looked through all these pictures.

They tell the story...

We started the day in Jamestown. Here is a Powhatan Indian Village.

Lots of educational groups today.
 
 Went down to see the ships.

 Jan wanted to take this photo. I obliged.

 Jan did not want me to take this photo, but I did anyway.
She'll be mad this is on the blog site.

 Now, that's much better.

 Jan training to be the next historian story teller.

More pictures of the ships.

We watched as a colonist showed us what it takes to load a musket.
Watch Jan jump.

 Preaching to the choir.

 Plaques in front of the Episcopal Church.

 Right side.

.17 seconds
360 video of Fort James

 The Main Church in Fort James.

 We ate our lunch outside the park at this display of flags.
The Illinois flag is 5th from the left second row.

If you look closely you'll see the ships at the dock.
The pier runs on the horizon to the left (see next picture)...

...where the ferry approaches the end of the dock visible 1/3 of the way in from the right.

We enjoyed driving Colonial Parkway.
Here are a few more pictures of this fine drive.



I liked the rock cuts so I took one more picture.

This is the only tunnel on Colonial Parkway which goes directly below Colonial Williamsburg.

We visited Colonial Williamsburg one last time.

 Of the three large buildings in Williamsburg, this Episcopal Church is the only original building.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other famous families attended this church.


 One more look at the Governor's Palace.

 Our last stop at Williamsburg before heading to home was at the Trellis restaurant.
The AVIS ticket agent mentioned this place, so we took him up on his recommendation.

 We were already stuffed, but why not get dessert?
We did. It was called "Death by Chocolate"
This is the BEFORE picture.


This is the AFTER picture.
Had we finished we would have been victims of the title.

One last stop before our home arrival was at Yankee Candle where we bought some gifts.
