Today was the first day of our "field trip" to the Historic Triangle. It is homeschoolers week at Colonial Williamsburg, so we decided to add in a few extra days for Jamestown and Yorktown to complete the triangle.We (Shayna and I.... poor Donnie - he had to stay home because of work !) woke up early and headed to Jamestown on the Colonial Parkway. We enjoyed stopping at the stops along the James River getting some GREAT views a brief history lesson from the plaques.
When we got to Jamestown - we saw an incredible film as an intro. The tour took us through the Powhatan Village, Jamestown Fort and to the dock where the Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery's replicas are docked. Shayna had an incredible time exploring, participating in hands on activities and listening to the stories.
After, we drove over to President's Park. This is an "unknown treasure." There are 18 feet "busts" of all the presidents with plaques of facts, quotes, interesting events throughout their life. This was a phenominal place that Shayna enjoyed immensly ! The park was virtually empty ! We had the "run" of the place.
Awesome Day !
Intense Learning !
Fun - Fun - Fun !
