We arose this morning, showered and I cooked corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast. I used our new outside portable stove. The boys ate some of it each, a bagel and a bowl of cereal. We were then ready to go to Jamestown. We left to see what it was like to live in the first permanent settlement in the new world. We arrived and bought a combination ticket for the Jamestown settlement and the Yorktown settlement. We walked around the gallery of displays about the Powhatan Indians and then watched a short movie about the settlement. We left there and took a guided tour of the exhibits. Our guide was knowledgeable but spoke too softly for me. We saw how the Indians lived, the fort the settlers made for defense against the Spanish, the way the English lived inside the fort. The highlight was being able to board the ships that brought the settlers and their supplies to the James River colony. There were many people that enacted parts of the early settlers. Two or three were on each ship and gave some interesting commentaries. We were there from about 12 until 3:30. It was a day hot for us but cooler than many days this time of year. Everyone wanted to go to Pizza Hut so I took us there. We had planned to eat some burritos for supper but it was in between meal times, so we called it a late lunch/early supper. The boys were very good about waiting for lunch. They never complained about being hungry once. We had eaten a lot for breakfast. I was very proud of their patience. We came home and insisted they all take showers. This caused a bit of rebellion but they finally complied. There was some rift developed among the boys but was not confrontational. Evelyn and I took a walk around the area and found a washer and dryer we can use for laundry within a couple of days. We came back and just shared a Pepsi. The boys played Monopoly and went to bed. We ate some popcorn that Stacy had given us. The part that popped was good.
