We went to Williamsburg, Jamestown & Yorktown over the Memorial Day weekend. I think Jamestown was our favorite. There was so much to see and do: the Native American village, the ships, the fort and the museum. The visitor’s center there is fantastic and we just didn’t have enough time to see everything we wanted in the museum because we has to rush over to Yorktown to see the artillery demonstration. We also ran out of time at the Yorktown museum. So we definitely need to go back to the area to see some of the things we missed or rushed through. Two and a half days wasn’t really enough.
One of the best times in Williamsburg was when Kevin bid in an open air auction on a trap ball game (kind of like early baseball/wiffleball). We spent a long time playing on the grassy area in the middle of the town (although, the weekend *was* supposed to be a break from the Spring’s endless baseball games!)
Right before we left Monday morning, we flew through the Rockefeller Folk Art museum and that was a surprise hit with the kids. They were even disappointed we didn’t have time to visit the other part of the museum (the decorative arts section.)
There was minimal fighting once we got the sleeping situation sorted out and everyone enjoyed eating in the taverns.
