Today we visited the Jameston Settlement and Yorktown Victory Center and also a Williamsburg winery and in the evening was our farewell dinner of our Caravan Tour.
Williamsburt was founded in 1607 and was the first permenent English settlement in America. Lots of museum material, a film of that time, a outdoor living history of the area.
This picture was the first construction and it was the church and the orginal foundation of the original church is on display at the side of the pews.From this area we went on to the Williamsburg winery for a wine tasting and a tour of the winery.
From there we went on to Yorktown which was the victory center of the revelutionary war. A long day and a lot of history crammed in the brain in two days.
This is our farewell dinner Jerry was taking the picture. The lady in the pink we become good friends with her and her husband they were our tailgunners they had the responsibility of always leaving the camp grounds last so they could help anyone that had trouble. Also they helped the wagonmaster couple count heads when we went on bus tours so no one got left behind. We really liked our leaders they did a great job.
That ends our East Coast Tour and wow we learned more history than we ever learned in school maybe we should have took this tour when we were in school haha. Maybe we would have got A+ in History.
