Jamestown

We decided on a whim to go to Jamestown. We woke up and wanted to do something and after running through the list decided on Jamestown. We have never been there but wanted to do something outside where Jake could run around a little. We were very pleasantly surprised! They are very kid friendly, we even FORGOT our baby stroller (can you believe that!) and they lent us one!
All the museums/exhibits were hands on, they have an area dedicated to the Powhatan Indian tribe and their village, then the Fort dedicated to the settlers and the boat they came over on. You could go into and touch everything! A child's dream!

Enjoy!
