Williamsburg, VA

If you seek the historic, go to Williamsbug, VA. A word of wise to you: if you plan on seeing Colonial Williamsburg you'd better sell the farm or the extra car, because it ain't cheap! $34 bucks a person. That is for all you math minded folk: almost 70 bucks for B and I to go see it. Because of this tragedy you will not see any pictures from there, for we counted the costs and decided that eating the next couple weeks was more of an urgent need.
Jamestown, however is a short drive down the Colonial Parkway and gives you two options for 20 bucks a person.

OPTION A) HISTORIC JAMESTOWN: This is good for all you history buffs that want to see where it was, the original rocks, the actual location. It is in fact a bunch of rocks and mostly an archelogical dig site, but it is a site to see.

OPTION B) JAMESTOWN SETTLEMENT: They rebuilT what the fort at Jamestown looked like. You can run around on it, look at the tools, people will show you how life was. You can look at the Powatah Indian villages and huts as they were in the 1600s. You can even get on the replica ships in the harbor that they sailed on. If you want to see pictures of these check out our gnome, Ibrahim's, site with the hyperlink to your right over there. Overall this was a pretty cool experience.
