Thursday and Friday

The past two days we have toured Jamestown and Williamsburg. This picture is from Historic Jamestown and shows how archaeologists excavate the area to learn what happened in the area.

Also at Historic Jamestown we learned that glass making was a way for the Jamestown settlers to earn income.

At Williamsburg we heard from Mr. Robert Watson about what it was like to live on a plantation, where most of the early American's lived, from the perspective of an African American slave. Mr. Watson was a wonderful resource. He taught us many things we did not know about life as a slave on a plantation in 1765.

Tomorrow (Saturday) we will visit Monticello and Mount Vernon then drive to Washington, D.C. It will be a long day but we are looking forward to the great places we will visit and the things we will learn! Look for a new post here on Sunday night.
