Day 6 & 7

We arrived in Williamsburg around lunch on Thursday and after checking in to our hotel, we headed to Jamestown. There we met up with friends and learned all sorts of cool things about the early settlement.

It is a pretty cool place with neat interactive opportunities to get a better sense of what life was like for the early settlers. We climbed aboard a replica of one of the boats that came to the new land and imagined being cramped with 53 other people,, plus crewmen, for four months at sea. YUCK! After a day at Jamestown, we headed back to Williamsburg and ate at a tavern in the heart of colonial Williamsburg. We ate well and enjoyed the atmosphere.


Friday morning we decided to be a little lazy and sleep in. We figured we could use the sleep. We had brunch with friends and then headed to Colonial Williamsburg to walk the area. We saw the old magazine, churches where Thomas Jefferson and George Washington worshipped, we shopped in some neat little stores, and learned about life in colonial times.
Then we decided to head back to the hotel and relax. We have part two of our vacation to attend to now....Bryan's wedding and all the festivities that go along with that (and rain...from what I hear it's going to be a WET weekend, thanks to Hanna. We Floridians just can't seem to get away from the storms!)
