Good Bye Williamsburg.



Original wall and cellar where George Washington actually stood! 


The Dodge on the ferry.














Well, what can we say?  Williamsburg and all the surrounding attractions were so amazing we stayed an extra week!  Everyday we went into town we rode the ferry.  Sometimes it was a great ride and sometimes it was a 1/2 hour wait.  We managed to dodge almost all the rain storms for the most part.  The campground we stayed at was located right on the James river so we could walk the shore and look for fossils!  We found a Megaladon sharks tooth that we were told was between 2 and 5 million years old! They told us the entire park was once part of the ocean floor millions of years ago.  The campground hosts, Tommy & Barbara were very accomodating in helping us level the trailer and even lending a few tools needed for our center console modification!  I cut the console lid so its now a 80/20 split lid for easy opening for Karen and I can still leave my arm resting on my 20%.  It really is a marriage saver on trips like this!  We finished our stay at Chippokes by picking strawberries at a farm just  down the street.  We picked to small containers worth of strawberries and then proceded to have home made ice cream and strawberry pie!  I finish this post at the table of our camper in our new home for a few days, Pochohonas State campground. The wind is softly blowing through the screen door while Norman looks out to survey the campsite. Life is good!
