Colonial Living & the Revolutionary War

July 27, 2014
American Heritage RV Park
Williamsburg, Virginia



We had plans to meet Derek, Sarah & Sofia in Williamsburg for a few days so moved to a RV park in that area.  They drove down from Centreville, VA on Thursday. and on Friday we went to Colonial Williamsburg.  




Amusement parks on the weekends in the summer are usually to be avoided but we all ventured to Busch Gardens on Saturday.  Unfortunately everyone forgot their camera so we didn't get many photos.  There are quite a few of the very large roller coaster type rides in this park.  The rules don't allow drinks or bags on those rides so I sacrificed my turn to sit on the bench and watch our stuff.  I couldn't see any reason to endanger my very nice lunch on those rides.  

Near the end of the day a thunderstorm struck and all the rides were closed down. We decided it was time to head for the parking lot.  Unfortunately so did everyone else.  It took us an hour just to get out of the parking lot.

We finished up our visit today at Jamestown.  As we were walking along the walkway over the marsh area, we saw this fawn quietly waiting for her mother to return. 

After Derek, Sarah & Sofia had headed back to Centreville, we drove over to Yorktown.  The ranger did a fantastic job on a battlefield walk and we made it to the end just before the rain started again.
