a ten day tour from Williamsburg to Annapolis, visiting Jamestown, Yorktown, and Civil War sights along the way. Ann caught this beautiful view of the lighthouse at Fort Monroe which guards the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay which was the highway/lifeblood for trade from colonial time through current use. Jefferson Davis, the Confederate president spent two years here in prison after the Civil War.
The House of Burgesses at Williamsburg. The Capitol was moved from Jamestown to here to be more central. The Govenor disbanded the representatives and they met in a tavern to vote in favor of the Revolution. 
It was a "salty day on the sea," when we went on board the replica, Susan Constant which brought the settlers from England which established the Jamestown Settlement.
Our "Captain" held firm and we rode out the storm!
