Jamestown

We also visited Jamestown, which is the site of the first permanent English settlement here in the United States of America. You all know the story of Jamestown; Pocahontas, John Smith, and John Rolfe.
This is a picture of the boys in front of the Jamestown Memorial. It is hidden behind the trees. It did surprise me how many memorials are big and tall and obelisk.
Here is a picture Joe took of the monument.
It was another really hot and humid day and we were really feeling it. Nicholas is in a really bad mood here and we are trying to talk him out of it.
Matthew and Holden are looking out over the River. Pretty much just looking for someplace to sit down.
The Colonial Highway is a stretch of road that connects Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown. It is so beautiful and we drove along it for a while.
At one point I noticed some strange movement on the side of the road, so we pulled over to check it out. There were hundreds of these little tiny crabs on the side of the road. They were really neat (and a little freaky.)
