We also visited the original site, which is a national park. This was a real treat. Our ranger has been involved in the excavations and was knowledgeable and engaging. The excavation is really very recent and until now it was assumed the the original location of the fort was washed away long ago as the river eroded the bank.
It is amazing that a settlement ever succeed, but as you see the country today it was clearly a success.

Dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant in Williamsburg was delicious.

Fun place! Anxious to see what comes next!
Super fun! I especially loved dinner and the actual Jamestown.
The real Jamestown made me vey happy and dinner was delish. Thanks for letting me crash the party!
Oh what fun! I love the shot of you and sweet Clara.
Ok so I wrote a long comment yesterday only to come back today and find it missing...I said how we loved Jamestown although the village was muddy and we also enjoyed the glass house where we picked up an ornament. We were to late to see the actual site but drove the road through the park and thought it was very beautiful. I also said how fun it would have been to do it with y'all!
