Yorktown/Jamestown

Today (Monday, April 15, 2013) we went to the York Town Victory Museum. We saw both a musket fired and a cannon fired.  The cannon was SO LOUD and the shock wave/percussion after it was astounding....you could feel it in your chest.  After that, we proceeded to Jamestown settlement (a re-enactment) and walked around there for a bit. There were boats (re-creations of the original ships), a re-creation of an Indian village, and a small re-creation of Jamestown.  We also went to the ORIGINAL Jamestown where all the archaeological digs were done.  Although it was at the end of the day, it was so cool to see the original places, the remnants of structures and the artifacts.  We were surprised at how many times Jamestown burned down.  Kind of crazy to see the spot that essentially all of United States came from[MH]  Tell that to Plymouth Rock[Z]
