While we were already in Virginia on two different days last week, Alexandria and Arlington Cemetary, we really only felt that we arrived in Virginia when we saw the actual Welcome sign.
More war history abounds in the tri-cities of Williamsburg, Yorkton & Jamestown, which was the original capital of Virginia County in 1607. In 1699 the capital was relocated to Middle Plantation about 5 miles inland which was renamed Williamsburg in honour of England’s King William III. Famous political leaders emerged from the College of William and Mary, such as Presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and John Tyler . Today Williamsburg in known as the centre for the preservation and interpretation of American colonial history. Fittingly we stayed at the American Heritage RV Park. We extended our stay to two nights due to wind and rainy weather …a gift from Hurricane Nicole.
