This time, however, we went with our dear cousins from VA and friends from PC. We started with Jamestown. The original Jamestown, that is. Instead of opting for the (expensive) living history site, we stopped by the original building site on the James River, upon Aunt Lee's suggestion. And are we ever glad!
Walking around the site was fascinating -- volunteers were strategically positioned to help visitors get their colonial bearings, and beautiful monuments marked momentous locations (like the landing spot of the first English settlers and Confederate earthworks from the War era).
By far one of the neatest things at Jamestown was the archeoarium which housed a thrilling collection of finds from the site. We're so glad we stopped.
After Jamestown, we drove down a little ways to our nice condos for our visit (thanks to Groupon!).
And pulled pork sandwiches sealed the deal: this little trip was getting off to a great start.
