When I lived over in Williamsburg, Jamestown was 5 minutes from my home. It`s a fascinating place at which new finds are occurring all the time. Those planning trips to SE wound enjoy Jamestown Island and nearby Jamestown Settlement.

When I was last there as a little girl over a century ago, there was nothing there! Williamsburg was better than Disneyland to me, and the visible outlines of the foundations in Jamestown fascinated me. My direct ancestor sailed and established himself up the James River at what used to be Chappell Creek.

When my husband was in the US Coast Guard, we lived in Yorktown for 2 years around 1960. That part of the country is fabulous, I haven’t been back to visit since and that is a shame.

And a quick visit to the Pottery Factory.

My husband and I went there for our anniversary in May. (I’ve been there before, but some 15 years.) It’s a great place, especially now compared to my earlier visits. Unfortunately, my visit to the actual island was marred by my husband wandering off from me in the settlement area and then we couldn’t find each other! So wasted a half hour or so and alot of (hot) energy!
