Virginia

Welcome to the 2nd to last post from the adventures of M&M. We will be home in a few days and will have one final post with all of the fun filled events that never made the blog. Now on to our most recent adventure...

Because we have always heard great things about Williamsburg and the surrounding areas, we made sure to put it on our list of stops. While the touristy feel of Williamsburg was over whelming at times we felt as if we were on a field trip against our will, it was still an amazing blast from the past. The best part was when we decided to head down the colonial parkway to Yorktown. The draw to this city for me was the Revolutionary War battlefields. To learn about the this little battle called the Revolutionary War was an enlightening experience:) If you have yet to hear about the history of this war be sure to travel to the Battlefield of Yorktown and ask for Ranger Mac for the full story. 

After hearing about all of the battle stories and tactics of Yorktown, we headed to Jamestown before sundown. Well, we were sorry to learn that Plymouth was not the first settlement in America, it was actually Jamestown. This was also where the Disney character Pocahontas was originally from. Enjoy the photos of how our country came to be.
