We moved out of our home of two weeks, the Greenbelt National Park. When we first arrived, the trees were still bare, but full of buds. After two weeks of warm sun and some rain, everything is green. The freeway through Virginia was like a tunnel of trees. Flowering Red Bud trees and blooming Wisteria dotted the forest.
Our new site is in a City of Newport News park. We have water and 50 amp service and the dump station is not far away. The good news is that both ATT&T and Verizon signals are strong so we have both phone and internet. Today we visited Yorktown, Jamestown, and Williamsburg, all within 8 miles of our campground. Yorktown is OK, but not as interesting as the other two. In Jamestown they are currently excavating an archeological site. The archeologist showed a new find, a piece of a 17th century pipe. We also listened to a wonderful reenactment of the story of one the Colonists, Captain Gabrial Archer.
Williamsburg was the most interesting. The old city center is mostly original buildings. There are many people dressed in period costumes on the street and we watched a performance of a pipe and drum band near the old Capitol building. The earth oven and colonial vegetable garden made us feel right at home.
I don't know how I got myself into this position.
