Sockmonkey visits Gannimal house day 3

Day three arrived clear and balmy (or at least I think that's how it was.) It was Columbus Day so sailor son had the day off which was great so we could do some touristing out in the Historic Triangle which is Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. The drive out there was beautiful, not quite the autumnal foliage but still pretty. Got to Williamsburg which does Colonial re-inactment over lots of acreage but once we got into the visitors center and were told it would cost $40 per person decided that was pretty pricy so got into the Nissen Versa and headed to Jamestown. The entrance there was only $15.00 so thought that was a great bargin, paid and went in to wander through a wonderfully impressive museum and then got to take a walk to the James River where there were replicas of ships that had originally brought the colonist from England. Those ships were small! Very nice view of the river and got a real feel of what it might have been like. Sockmonkey didn't want to go on board with the rest of the fam, claustraphobic you know so he hung out on the dock to wait. Super fun day and very educational. Sockmonkey was very impressed by  the story of Pocahontas, she pretty much saved those Colonist. We might have to watch that Disney movie about her again. After the tour of Jamestown headed back to Gannimal house for a bbq dinner. A good time was had by all. To be continued...
