Historic Jamestown, Virginia





































This weekend we ventured to Williamsburg Virginia and on Saturday, we spent the day at Jamestown, (the first permanent English colony). The girls had fun exploring a Powhatan Indian Village, seeing replicas of several English ships, the Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery and the James Fort. They learned how the Indians cooked their food (no fish tacos or casinos were observed) and how they helped the first English settlers survive their first years in the new country. We also viewed the film, A Nation Takes Root, then walked though a very nice museum/gallery.
