Yesterday I went on the big 4th grade field trip with Audrey to Jamestown. What a fun day! I had never been to Jamestown and this year everything is decked out for the big 400th Anniversary Celebration. They were getting ready for the big anniversary party weekend (May 11-13) and had so much going on.
We boarded the tour buses at the school at 7am and arrived at Jamestown at 10:30. Then we had a guided tour until 1, lunch and then we had free time to see all the things we didn't get to on the tour. There was a lot to see! They had just opened a new museum with lots of interactive exhibits, there was the indian villiage, the ships and all of Jamestown fort. There were authentically dressed guides all over to tell you about the different boats and exhibits.
Audrey and I both had a great time and it was a nice break from my schedule of child care. Jeff took the day off from work to handle Daddy duty while I was gone. :)
The Jamestown Tower, dedicated at the 350th anniversary.
The giant map--- one of the first things we saw.
The path to the boat dock, Jamestown fort on the left.
The Susan Constant, the largest of the three boats.

A display on gunmanship (Audrey and I were lucky we got a private showing!)
Also at the park is a replica of a Powhatan Indian villiage. Here is Audrey in front of an indian long house. 
In front of the museum (no photos allowed in the museum) was this fountain and flags from all 50 states.
