Jamestown Settlement


 Jay's parents came for spring break so Jay planned a little history trip.  Our first stop was Jamestown where in 1607, 13 years before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts, a group of 104 English men and boys began a settlement on the banks of Virginia's James River.  
 Powhatan Village where Pocahontas lived


 We got to explore the re-creations of threes ships that brought English colonists to Virginia.  The Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery.

 It was fun seeing all the people dressed up 
 James Fort church


 My boys suited up in their armor



 Matchlock muskets
 What a better way to end the day then a little Olive Garden:)
