Good ol' Jamestown


So I did it! I did what I said I would do...explore the area while we are still living on the east coast. Ronan and I took a short like road trip to the first colony of America, Jamestown, est. in 1607. It was really cool to see, especially because of all the history and because it's on the water. It was very hot today, though, but the wind from the bay waves felt lovely.

It's only a 10 dollar admission fee to see historical Jamestown, and it's good for 7 days if you'd didn't get to see everything in one day. My favorite parts were the statues of Pocahontos and John Smith, the first governor of Virginia.

Jamestown is one of the 3 historical colonies in the colonial triangle of Virginia, namely right next to Yorktown and Williamsburg. I was not aware that the college of William and Mary is literally right next to Williamsburg, but it is. I just love driving around and seeing all the old, ivy league looking brick buildings of the east coast.

Until our next adventure :)
