We are in Virginia

We made it to Williamsburg VA and set up at Williamsburg RV Park. It is a nice place with lots of things to do in the park. But there are more things in the area to see that are great.

First we drove to Williamsburg to see what all was there. Mostly old houses that have been restored. But it was nice to walk around and look at things. It is mostly a tourist trap and no real information about the buildings.

To day we took the bike to Yorktown. Now this place has lots of history and cool things to see. We first stopped at the National Park Visitor Center at the Yorktown Battle field. We learned that this area was used to two sieges. First one was the American Revolution in 1781 and the second was for the Civil War. Lots of the earthworks that were made and used during the revolution siege were again used against the Confederates in the siege of Yorktown in 1862. After you leave the Visitors Center Museum you ride along a road that was used back then and go around the battle field. It was so cool to walk and look at places where so much history was made. They even have a National Cemetery there for the Civil War dead.  You also get to see where the British surrendered  to George Washington. You can even drive to where George Washington had his headquarters but to do so you have to go through a small river. This was lots of fun on the bike but we made it ok just a little  water on the feet.

Then we went to a place called the Victory Center Museum. This place had some more good information on the people who started Yorktown and on the Revolution.
Will go back and see the town and then we want to go to Jamestown.
Great weather here so far but a bit hot for me at 90+ today.
