After our morning at the Preservation Virginia area of Historic Jamestown... we had a picnic lunch and took Island Drive (if you have bikes with you - it looked like a great loop to ride on) to a small trail that overlooked the James River. Sadly AB got stung by a wasp so we had …
In October we finally got on the road again and explored for 2 weeks! We started our journey staying at Thousand Trails Williamsburg and our first visit was to Colonial National Historical Park.
