Virginia Beach And Jamestown



After we went camping at Lake Anna we went to Virginia Beach, it wasn't that far away but traffic was a bit horrendous when we got close to the tunnel. Once there it was time for dinner, bath (kids hadn't bathed in two days by this time) and then bed. We found a hotel and settled down for the evening. The next day we went to the beach. And let me just say that it was the most perfect beach day EVER!!! It was hot outside and the water was deliciously cool and it took only like 2 seconds to get used to it and once out of the water you weren't shivering cold, you were still warm and wanting to go back in after a few min. It was AWESOME!!! After Virginia Beach we went to Jamestown. That was pretty neat. It was fee free weekend due to father's day. We saw the first glass house, and a glass blowing demonstration. That was cool, blowing glass would be a fun hobby. Then we were off to see the settlement. We didn't get to see the original foundations cuz' if left to the weather they would of withered away, but they did have markers that showed us. It was incredible to stand on that land, just amazing. I can't wait till the next time we go there. I'm more excited to go to the beach but Jamestown was just as beautiful.
