We made "camping eggs" and muffins, sliced up a few of our Florida oranges, brewed some Starbucks and brought breakfast in to the Montgomery's. It was a wonderful way to end our very special visit with them. Later Gary went out to get the bbow ready to go and there was Mike and Taryn washing it. That was a wonderful gift to him!
On the road we were heading to nearby Jamestown Virginia. In May of 1607 one hundred four English men and boys landed here and Jamestown became America's first permanent English colony.
There are actually two Jamestowns: Historical Jamestown - located on the actual sight with actual ruins and artifacts. It is a National Historic Park, and Jamestown Settlement - just down the road it is a recreation of the Virginia colony and the Powhatan Indian Village. It is owned by the state of Virginia.
The Montgomery's pointed this out to us, and since we went to Jamestown Settlement in '92, and since it is the 400th anniversary celebration we decided this time to see the real thing. We really enjoyed our visit there.
We then drove to Yorktown where the decisive battle of the American Revolutionary was fought and won by General George Washington. We have never been here before and really enjoyed learning about its significance. The residential Main Street and warfside Water Street located on the York River are most charming and worth seeing.
What an amazing day of history we enjoyed!
