Jamestown

After our stay in the Great Wolf lodge we headed to the Jamestown settlement just a 10 minute drive away. The weather was beautiful with sunshine and summer like temperatures. Also there was a lot to see.
First one could explore an Indian village

Then there were replicas of the the ships on which the settlers had arrived in the April of 1607. Thy wee surprisingly small. One could walk around on two of them and explore above and below deck.

 Guides explained how live was on those ships or how they were made waterproof

Then there was also a rebuild version of the first settlement - including some free range chicken

Ha showed how to carry water buckets with a special carrier

 Of course the children wanted to try as well
