September 4!
This morning we didn’t need to travel far to get to Jamestowne in the Colonial National Park. On the way I scoured the woods for woodland creatures who happened to wander into my sight… A sort of hobby of mine in the hope of finally seeing something in the wild! As we traveled I also took note of the houses along the way and their landscaping. We passed a house that had bushes and a couple of deer statues near one of them… It was only as we were past, and too late for a picture that one of those lawn ornaments moved!
We stopped first at some sort of visitor center, thinking it was the one for the National Park. It wasn’t, so we didn’t stay. They had a lot to offer – reproductions of the ships that landed there and lots of costumed actors, but we wanted the real thing. We were glad that we held out for the real thing! Our guide through the Jamestowne part of the park was lots of fun and ready to answer any questions that could be thrown at him. A few pictures from Jamestowne:

Afterwards, we went to the Yorktown Battle site. There wasn’t as much to see, but we were glad we went anyway.
We spent the night in Tappahannock, Virginia
