Jamestown and Yorktown

 One of my favorite things to do is to go out to breakfast.  I found a place that had gluten free pancakes, they were actually pretty good.  David had a cheeseburger so we were both happy campers, win-win!   We went to Jamestown, it was very fun.  There were a lot of exhibits open and the demonstrations were fun to watch.  I loved the chickens running around!  We drove to Yorktown next, it had a lot of historical sites, a lot of people wandering around and not much parking, ha. We made our way back to the boat, we’re pooped, even Ellie is dragging.  Our passes are good for 7 days so I think we will go back in the next couple of days and look around Yorktown a little more. Decent weather held for today, tomorrow should be a little warmer so we’ll definitely stay on the shady side of the street.

Church, you wouldn’t fall asleep in those pews.  Attendance was mandatory to maintain the Protestant religion.
