Williamsburg VA area

We spent a couple of weeks exploring Williamsburg, Yorkstown and Jamestown Virginia. Wow, this was a great place, we enjoyed ourselves so much here. It seems like so long ago that we learned about our countries beginnings in school (it was !!), it's funny how much more interesting it is now !! We bought a 2 day pass for Williamsburg. They re-enact different scenes from our history each day, so something new is going on all of the time. The actors are dressed in the styles of the day and they mingle among the tourists, talking to everyone, and acting just like they would have in those days. It draws you into the era and you feel like you are actually there.




We had a great time in Williamsburg, and highly recommend it to everyone. I think you could easily spend a week there. We also went to Yorktown and Jamestown, and they are very interesting also.





We have had a wonderful time here in the Williamsburg area. We also went to a park called President's Park and these are a few pictures from there. This place is in Williamsburg, but is not very well advertised, and should be, because it was very interesting. These statues of all of the presidents are each 16 to 18 feet high and there are some interesting facts about each one and lists some of their achievements.




We are now in the Washington DC area, staying at Andrews AFB MD for 10 days then moving to Fort Mead for a couple more weeks. We have had some pretty bad rains since we arrived here 5 days ago, really have not been able to do much yet, but some nice weather is just around the corner, so next weeks will be better.
