palling around with pocahontas

We flew out from PDX to Virginia for some time with my dad, and brought the kids to Jamestown.  It has changed a bunch from when I used to visit in grade school, since they found out that the fort was actually not underwater as we were taught in the 80's.  We enjoyed walking the site and learning about the current archeological findings.  Thunderstorms cut short the visit to the glass makers.  Owen and Richard went back out to Williamsburg the next day where they enjoyed learning about the colonials but also ate lots of ice cream.
Ben's major discovery of the trip was ham sandwiches, which he asked to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.   We enjoyed swimming in the river and the marina pool, boat rides with some fishing, and canoe rides, and just hanging out with my dad and watching the amazing Rappahannock sunset.
