We left Chesapeake City, wandered slowly through all of the bridges and the one lock again and out to Portsmouth and Norfolk and into the Chesapeake Bay. Memorial Weekend Saturday and people were out cruising and fishing. We headed on out to Yorktown. We wanted to spend a day in Williamsburg and possible some time in Jamestown. It was a little bumpy for me, I am so use to the stablizers, but it was nothing like crossing to Catalina when there is wind.

We stayed in a nice marina across from Yorktown, the Yacht Haven. On Sunday they drove us to the Visitor Center so that we could catch the park bus to Williamsburg. Williamsburg! It is so lovely. The weather was perfect to be out walking. We spent the whole day walking and talking to the people there. We found out that if you work in Williamsburg then you are able to rent one of the houses on the grounds. At first I thought that that would be fun, but the ones on the main streets have their shutters closed. You can imagine the walking traffic day in and day out.

We ate at a tavern. Quite good food.

And a knitter. How exciting. Here you can see Kelley thinking about a sweater that I might knit for him. If we had sheep I think I would name them things like: Gansey, Fair Isle, Aran, Lacey.

We took the park bus back to the visitor’s center and wisited Yorktown before the marina shuttle came for us. It was a great day.
