Brief explanation on Vacation 2007

Bo planned a get away to Williamsburg over the 4th of July. It is only about 3 1/2 hours from our house in northern VA. We stayed there for about 4 days before going on to visit the Ullian's. We were witness to how Williamsburg was during the time of the British envasion headed up by Lord Cornwallis. Everyone who participated and dressed up was volunteering for the event. It was neat to see. We also saw the Revolutionary City when the British took over the town changed and they would reenact the takeover by putting out the British flags along with numerous speeches of the men of the times including the Govenor, Lord Cornwallis, the Chaplain and Patrick Henry. We took one full day at Jamestown and the settlement. We liked the island best. A very moving place to be, knowing our ancestors came up that very river to change our lives forever. We went to Yorktown and saw a bunch of canons and open fields. We learned of the history that took place there and mapped it out via a drive...the walk was much too spread out in the heat. We visited the home where the George Washington and the British worked out the articles of surrender...as you may remember, it was 2 more years before Jefferson would write the Declaration of Independence that would free us from our European Monarchy.
