Today we spent time visiting the Jamestown Settlement. It was amazing to see a place with so much history. So much has happened here, from the first permanent English settlement to early colonization to civil war battles over the riverfront along the James River. It’s cool to walk in the same places where people that I’ve heard about my whole life really lived. So much better than somewhere like Disneyland.
After Jamestown, it was more waterslides (we multi-tasked some laundry in there), a quick dinner, and then back to the hotel for some wandering around and checking stuff out. We’re tired, but we’ve enjoyed our time in Williamsburg. The only bummer is that we’ve only scratched the surface of what you could do and see here. I’m pretty sure we’ll feel that way about every place we visit.
What could be better than water?
