  • As I said earlier, on Sunday afternoon Don, Alex, and I drove up to Yorktown, which was lovely.

    This was the Thomas Nelson house, which had been attacked by cannonfire
    during the Revolution.  We're confidant the cannonball seen in the
    wall was planted, but the hole it is in, as well as the other above it
    (and there were a few more besides), are authentic.

    This was the cemetary at St. Paul's Episcopal church, where Don and
    Alex - standing next to Thomas Nelson's grave - listened to an
    impromptu talk by a knowlegable docent.

  • I've never been to Yorktown, despite having spent two different 8 day vacations in the area. There's just so much to see and do there!

    What caught my eye, though, is that cart. I keep wondering when that'll be me.

    Hey, at least I'll get there faster! :)

  • Listen, he zipped around the church grounds in that critter! I think they're sensible.

  • Magaly's granddad has one. He does the same, and there's a hill between Mel & Stacy's house and his and Kay's. He even piled up building materials on his lap during construction!

    I'm just unwilling to think that's where I am yet, I guess.

    But I'm sure it'll be fun when I do. :)
