Checking Out Yorktown

Ok we are starting to feel the rigors of vacation now. Today we decided to take it easy. We wanted to do a sailing ship cruise but they were booked up, that was a bummer but we move on and decide to check out Yorktown and that area. It's nothing like Williamsburg and maybe if we'd done it before Williamsburg or even earlier in the week we would have gotten more out of it. As it was it's a quaint little town on the water. Very pretty. We had lunch in a neat little place called the Carrot Tree. The food was good, I enjoyed mine more than Steve liked his, but the carrot cake we had for desert was to die for. Oh so good! After that we walked around a little. Browsed through an art gallery of works from local artists. That was nice and I found my ornament for the ornament exchange party.

We walked down by the water, nothing really special so we decided to go to the Battlefield's Visitor's Center. We saw a film of the victory at Yorktown then took a driving tour of the battleground area. It was a lot of grassy fields. Nothing to write home about and yet I make mention in this blog. We did get to visit the home where the terms of surrender were hashed out between the British and the French and Americans.

Now we are back to the RV with a steak to cook on the grill. Day six is done.
