Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg are considered America’s Historic Triangle, mixing the beginnings of America’s settlement with the finality of hard-won independence. We spent all our time in Jamestown and Williamsburg, and will have to save Yorktown for a future visit.
Jamestown continued to thrive, but the capital seat of Virginia Colony eventually moved just down the road to Williamsburg. Our first stop was the public library to check in on the internet and post a blog of our previous days. Then, with delightful weather to walk outside and the complete absence of crowds, we opted to walk the streets and browse the public-admittance shops rather than purchase a ticket to tour the historical buildings. Mostly, I was plotting a future trip to celebrate Christmas in Williamsburg – a prominent item on my bucket list! Here are a smattering of dwellings and sites on the streets of Williamsburg: A quick drive to the coast will take us to the Outer Banks . . . come back and check it out!

I have some great memories of Williamsburg when I chaperoned Meg's band trip in 1998. Always wanted to go back. Enjoyed the pictures...and your blog.

Join us (me & Bec, Rich & Sue, Gid & Terry, Bob & Susan) for the annual Grand Illumination to kick off the Christmas season. The big day with festivities and fireworks is the first Sunday in December and we've all gathered there for the last three years! We don't camp, but we do gather for the entire week with potlucks each night and sight-seeing during the day. Last year Fox joined us and this year, Stacy, Matt & Alice will be along! Think about it!!

We don’t go camping any more . . . we go ‘streamin’ ! The “SIlvermine and His” is our 2018 25' Airstream Serenity with Salsa interior and front twin beds., and ‘streamin’ is the name we use to describe our adventures. Stream along as we document everything from weekend trips to longer summer excursions and full-blown vacations. You know what they say: if you’re not in an Airstream – you’re just camping!
