Yorktown

The battle field

The trenches.

The trenches.

Today we spent the day in Yorktown. This was the place of the last major battle in our fight for independence. The visitors center consisted of a theater, a small museum and a bookstore. After touring the museum and watching a 16 minute video on the battle Darren embarked on a 40 minute walking tour of the battle site. Darren said the guide brought the history of the Yorktown battle to life. It was a little cold for William so I ended up staying behind at the visitors center. After the walking tour, we got in the car and explored the two driving tours. I couldn't begin to do the history of this place justice! Darren has read so much about George Washington and his military campaigns that he has been in heaven seeing all these historical places that he has become so familiar with.
