Tuesday was our nicest, warmest day of the week and we took full advantage of it.
First stop, Yorktown Victory Center.
Inside they are still working on completing The American Revolution Timeline, but there were a few things we could see (photo at the end). So we focused most of our time outside in the Continental Army Encampment and Farm.
And, once again, Ethan was happy to have chickens to chase!
We got there just in time to watch them fire a canon.
Here are the soldiers tents.
I liked this sign, especially the lower rate bit.
Once again, Jason got involved in an exhibit, this time chatting with actor portraying the doctor. So Ethan and I spent some time looking around on our own and found the officers tents.
A future Lieutenant Colonel.
Signing important documents.
Checking out the map.
On the way out the boys tried on some uniforms, which they wouldn't do when we first passed by them. They both wore the US uniforms and no one could be persuaded to put on the British ones, even for their British mother.
Wyatt was on a mission to get a cap gun from day one when he saw them at the first museum.
Gotta say, he looks good with it.
As does Jack.
Then we drove through the little town and saw a few things. But no one wanted to get out and walk it with me. Oh well...
We stopped for lunch and I got a few photo ops.
Loved the ship in the background.
Then it was off to find a place for Jason to kiteboard. It was VERY windy but while Jason was getting his gear all set up the boys were poking around the beach and came across sea glass. We were very surprised but happy to add to our collection from the West Coast. So we spent some time digging around and this is what we came up with.
Then Jason got his kite boarding in.
And then back to the GWL for our final afternoon/evening to enjoy the waterpark.
