Jamestown, Virginia 11/13/2013
NOVEMBER 13, 2013 (Wednesday)
Got up and it looked beautiful out. Couldn’t wait to go out into it. However, once we hit the outside door – it was sooooooo cold. Feels like winter here. We braved it and decided to go to Jamestown.
The drive to Jamestown was beautiful, along a narrow parkway going over wooden bridges, through tunnels, along tree lined roads, waterways – quite lovely. It’s about 10-12 miles. The Visitor’s Center had lots of information in it. Was fun reading about the people and things that they accomplished. We opted not to walk the area due to the cold.
Michael and I did stop one time to take a stroll to the waterway. It was as we were leaving the Jamestown area, heading to Yorktown. Was a lovely stroll, but very cold so we picked up our pace. We also saw a bunch of deer alongside the road. They didn’t seem the least afraid of us.
We left Jamestown and went to Yorktown (about 15 miles from Jamestown). The Visitor’s Center is a ways away from the town. There is a lot of construction going on near the Visitor’s Center. Walking up to the Visitor’s Center you see little wooden buildings – like in the 1700’s (or earlier). Fun. We were still cold and opted not to walk around the demonstration areas. Yorktown is a small water town. Cute. The wooden boat that is normally there is gone for the season – we were told South America. We did stop and have lunch at a little place called the Beach Deli. The food was good and affordable, and Lexi even found a 10% off coupon (even better).
Leaving Yorktown we went to Target and then to Dollar Tree. That was our day. Hope yours was great!
