This is Elinore climbing on the ruins at Jamestown Island where the three ships (the Godspeed, the Susan Constant, and
the Discovery) landed in 1607. My history was rather rusty before we went on this trip, but after reading all of the signs everywhere, I feel I am overflowing with information. Perhaps it would be more recognizable if I said that John Smith was leader of this colony at one point (his life was saved by Pocahontas).
This is the Capitol building in Colonial Williamsburg. It is where all the government meetings were held. We didn't get a chance to tour this building, but it really looks impressive.
We caught a piece of one of the presentations in Colonial Williamsburg. This is Lord Dunmore (governor of Virginia in the 1770s) after giving an angry speech chastising those involve in the Boston Tea Party. He was, of course, a loyalist. It was very interesting to feel the tension as they reenacted several events that led up to the American Revolution.
