After we left the Jamestown Settlement, we travelled the long and tranquil Colonial Highway. The Colonial Highway connects Jamestown Settlement to Yorktown, with Colonial Williamsburg betwixt the two. It is the scenic route and is 23 miles long. If you visit the Historic Triangle, please take the time to travel the Colonial Highway. It is worth the time. I enjoyed it so much that I forgot to take a single photo.
After getting some lunch, we made it to Yorktown. It's a tiny, tiny village and looked as though some people still live there. We were there for the battlefield area so we skipped the quaint antique shops and tea houses.
Yorktown had fewer visitors than Jamestown Settlement. There was a Late Colonial village.
Here is S trying not to chase a Helmeted Guineahen.
This is one part of the inside of a Late Colonial house.
And this is the other side of the house.
After making our way through a great museum on the American Revolution, we came upon a re-creation of an American camp in the Revolution.
This is the inside of an officer's tent.
All of these people are looking at the star of the show -
a cannon!
The young lady on the left was telling all about the cannon.
And here the cannon goes, "Kaboom!" The sound wave was so strong that it shook my camera.
Thus concludes our first vacation day.
