It was Magnus' final day with us and with a few hours to spare we took the opportunity to visit Jamestown today. It was a beautiful drive through the Colonial Parkway National Park toward the Triangle of historic sights, Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown. We only had time for one sight today. We chose Jamestown which is the first place the English settled in America in 1607 to be met by the Powhatan Indian tribe. Jamestown is also known as the place where Pocahontas and Capt. John Smith hooked up. When Liv heard that Pocahontas lived here her little ears perked right up as she remembered the story from the Disney film. Nothin' like a Disney film to provide a little American history!
Mattias drove Magnus back up to Dulles for the flight and the girls and I cleaned up the boat, did laundry and they were treated to a little Nick Jr. in the Harbor Lounge while our laundry was being done. We didn't Trick or Treat this year. The girls were aware it was Halloween but surprisingly, didn't ask to go out trick or treating. That might come to haunt us tomorrow! It can be dark at this marina and since I was alone this evening, I didn't feel comfortable venturing across the vast darkness in search of candy. Instead, I fed them each a tiny kit-kat bar and sent them to bed!
More later,
Carrie
