Ron is always up first - he pops out of bed like toast - and greeted the morning sunshine!
Restaurants along the Yorktown waterfront. Yummmmm...the fish tacos and crab dip!
One of the "redoubts" - you might say this was like a "defensive trench" dug by the Revolutionary War soldiers, and protected by the "sharpened" posts entrenched on the perimeter.

(Better explanation of a redoubt than the one provided above.)
We visited the "Yorktown Victory Center" which featured an indoor museum of Revolutionary War and Civil War artifacts and history displays, as well as two 'living' outdoor museums - one, a 'working farm' and the second, a soldiers' encampment, as they would have been in the late 18th century America.
These buildings were from the farm - looking at the 'kitchen' building.
Some pics from Colonial Williamsburg...
Williamsburg gardens...
"Surveying" the beautiful gardens...

Spinning and weaving fabrics...
Church cemetery on the grounds of Williamsburg's Bruton Parish Church...the church has been in continuous use since the 1600's...
Inside the exquisite church...
Marker inside the church...
Williamsburg's 'magazine' building interior - housing the weapons and other 'fighting supplies'.
The "Magazine."
The Capitol
He looks like a 'governor' doesn't he?
Awaiting General Benedict Arnold outside The Capitol building...
The federal architecture is stunning!
