VA, DC, MD - Day 2 - June 20th 2013

The Capitol at Williamsburg 
 Gotta love the humidity!

House of Records, this was built after the Capitol burned and they lost their records, this was supposedly "fireproof" for that era.
 I just loved the wildflowers that were everywhere.
 The split log fences.
 Mike in Time Out just outside the courthouse in Williamsburg
 Jamestown
 In a lot of places that we went there were archeological digs going on that's what you see just through the gate.
 Yes, I held Pocahontas' hand, and just for a moment, I could sing with all the voices of the mountains and paint with all the colors of the wind!
 The Memorial Church
John Smith Statue 
 Tercentenary Monument
 This is "according to the marker" the spot where the ship landed at Jamestown
 A model of what the town may have looked like.
 Inside the church, at one time a Knight was buried behind the railing on the right side of the picture.
 The church entrance

 Yorktown
 York River




 Redoubts 9 and 10

 Surrender Field - This is where Cornwallis' Army marched onto the field and laid down their weapons.  This ended the last major battler of the Revolutionary War.

 Close Quarters





We ended the day in Norfolk and headed towards Charlottesville.
