Yorktown

We also headed over to the sight of the Yorktown Battlefield. Which, in case you are not a huge history buff, was the last big battle of the Revolutionary War.
There were lots of cannons, both French and American.
We went on a tour of the battlefields. Our tour guide was a volunteer who was very knowledgeable and captivating. Perhaps more for Joe and I than for the boys.

We took the free trolly ride to see the monument and the City of Yorktown,


Toured the museum inside the Visitor Center.
And visited the gift store.
I think my favorite part was just looking at the River and imagining what it was like in 1781 when George Washington faced Cornwallis.
