We had lunch in the Dale House Cafe. WE both had Pulled Pork sandwiches, and Kevin also had a bowl of chili, while I had a bowl of Bread Pudding with Raisin Sauce. Then we went to the State House where through the glass floor you can see the foundations that have been excavated. There are many artifacts inside including arrow head, beads, buttons, coins pottery, and armor. They had also found Irish and English coins that had been rejected for use in England. We also saw a lone fawn grazing.

| Site of Swann's Tavern leased by Colonel Thomas Swann who was nicknamed Ye Greate Toad. Since he had advised Nathan Bacon the rebel, his Point Planation remained undamaged during Bacon's Rebellion. However, charred timbers here at the site of the Tavern, suggest it was burned during the sack of Jamestown. By 1679 it had been repaired and reopened along with a the dozen others in the town. We met a very nice couple here that were visiting from South Carolina. Then to Hampton Roads Area to see the Northfork Naval Station, MacArthur Memorial, Fort Monroe, Langley Air Force Base and the Virginia Air & Space Center. There is also the American Rover Tall Sailing Ship Cruise that departs from Waterside Drive, guest can work the sails take a turn at the rail or just relax aboard the 135 ft long three mast topsail schooner. |
