(Norfolk, VA to
Dumfries, VA)
Got up around 7:00 & took the opportunity to shower in a
real shower at my brother's before saying our good-byes and setting out once
again.
Our first destination of the day was Colonial Williamsburg
about 35 miles north of Norfolk. With
Noah driving, we arrived by about 9:00 a.m.
We parked in the RV/Trailer parking area (which was out in the back 40)
and hiked to the visitor center where I purchased one-day passes for us. Boarding the shuttle, we were taken to Market
Square where our day began.
Colonial Williamsburg is huge, so we just started up one of
the streets, stopping and looking into any shops that were open. We visited the tin smith's, the wig maker's,
the milliner's, the printer's, and the baker's to name a few. We also visited the Market House which was
where the sheriff and bailiff worked as well as where trials were held.
Noah put me in the stocks, and by then it was getting
extremely hot (the heat index was 107), so we went into a book shop at the end
of the street (which turned out to be a Barnes & Noble and the William and
Mary College book store) and had a bottle of cold water. Meandering back up the street, we visited the
armory, and then re-boarded the shuttle bus back to the parking lot.
After leaving Williamsburg, we headed north towards our
day's ultimate destination: the Prince
William Forest RV Campground in Dumfries, VA (about 30 miles south of
Washington, D.C.). With stops at Cracker
Barrel for "dunch" & Camping World for trailer parts we finally got
settled into our camping spot around 6:00 p.m.
Tomorrow we are planning to ride the D.C. Metro into
Washington to see the sights. Will tell
you all about it then!
Bye for now,
Buckskin
