The historic triangle

September 13, 2009

After a restful night we rose bright and early and decided to visit Jamestown before returning to Yorktown. We arrive at the gates to Historic Jamestown a few minutes before 8am and begin reading the tourist brochure we picked up at the hotel. When we got to write up on Jamestown we found that it opens promptly at 9am. Being the flexible group we are, we turned around and headed off to Yorktown enjoying the parkway to ourselves.

At the Yorktown battlefield site we joined a walking led by Ranger Tim. Ranger Tim was a cross between Ben Stein and Steven Wright and there was probably nothing about the battle of Yorktown he didn’t know. He did a great job of bringing the battle and surrender to life while delivering the joke lines with dead pan perfection that we weren’t sure was intentional or not.

After Ranger Tim that rest of the day was ordinary, lunch in Yorktown, the afternoon at Historic Jamestown and dinner in old Williamsburg. After dinner we conferred in the hotel lobby and decided to head towards Kentucky.
