We've lived in the Richmond Area for the past eighteen years and we've never been to Yorktown, which is very close to Colonial Williamsburg adn Jamestown, both of which we've visited several times. After hearing about a cute beach area at Historic Yorktown, close to the yorktown Battlefield etc., I planned a day trip to visit on Father's Day. We left early in the day and spent the morning at the beach area. It was so pretty, clean and everything was close and free!!!! We parked only a block away and as we walked down the hill, we could see the York River, the bridge over to Glouster, the Riverwalk area with cute shops and restaurants, a fishing dock, and a picnic area. While we were there, we even saw a wedding on the beach!
After we ate a picnic lunch we had packed, we hopped on the free trolley and went to see the yorktown Battlefield museum and the actual battlefield. That was interesting. They had a replica of the inside of one of the Revolutionary Warships in the museum and that is what the kids are looking out of on the top photo. After sightseeing for a bit, we got back off the trolley at the beach again and spent some more time there before heading home for the day. Of course, befroe we left, we had to pop into Ben and Jerry's for a treat!
