And so we finally left North Carolina, after 30 days spent there, and drove north to Virginia. This was a fairly short day, mileage-wise -- only 250 miles or so. Our route took us back East yet again, but after we reached US 95 we headed North, up towards the Chesapeake bay. Our destination was Colonial Williamsburg, one of the largest living history museums in the world, employing more than 4000 persons, a goodly portion who interpret various characters residing in the restored 18th century capital of Virginia. We reached our intended destination, Anvil Campground, and got the last full-hookup site available. Anvil had a 'sale' going: stay 7 nights and get 2 of them free. We took them up on this, since we had been to Williamsburg 5 or 6 years ago, and knew we could use all that time and more in order to see everything we wanted to see. Once installed at the campground, the girls explored, and quickly found the playground. I pushed them on a sort of maypole, and took the picture below of Jordan. Joya then processed it a bit, creating another small digital masterpiece.
As it was late in the day, we opted to stay in camp rather than try to begin touring. The campground had a 'family room', outfitted with couches and a television with cable. The room was occupied only by 2 men who were oddly not paying attention to the TV, and 2 young children who paraded around liked they owned the place -- which it turned out they did, as their parents owned the park. Playing on HBO was Kevin Costner's poor portrayal of Wyatt Earp, but we watched it anyway, until way too late, and then retired. |
