Jamestown 400, day 7, June 16, 2007

The day began at Fort Pocahontas and concluded with a pizza party back at the hotel. Sunday morning we returned to Fort Pocahontas for a church service and worship. After that we packed the vehicles and headed for IL.

Abbey is standing by the Jamestown Children's Memorial and the time-capsule.

There is a collage in a prior post of this last day, but you never know where the program is going to crop the picture, someone might loose their head in the collage or something important get cut out. So I thought I'd include some actual pictures.


Fife and drum, to set the stage.

This is the only picture we have of the Mustang. At the end of the day trying to get back to our vehicles involved long lines and shuttle buses and lots of dust. The Erber's helped us get back to the van, but we (meaning a lot of people) had to fit in the Mustang that "Mr. George" drove and Joshua's Suburban. Justin was able to ride in the Mustang, till we got back to our van. He thought it was great.


Back at the hotel, everyone enjoyed pizza and had a few minutes to talk, visit, laugh, and share stores of the week.



Since it was well after midnight, several people were already in bed.


Some laughs at the video game.

Last day, Jamestown 400

Jamestown 400, day 6, June 15, 2007

Do you wonder what they are pointing at...?






Another slide show of Jamestown.
June 15, day 6, which started at Fort Pocahontas near Williamsburg, VA, the grounds and home of the descendants of President John Tyler. A children's parade started the celebration, fifes and drums, military arms and reenactments, speakers and the laying of the Jamestown Children's Monument. Later through the evening more speakers plus the "Liberty Day" reenactment of the Second Virginia Convention. Food, books and balloon rides. A long but exciting day. The slide show is about 3 or 4 min. long.

Jamestown 400, day 5, June 14, 2007

Day 5 started with a "mini tour" with Dr. Paul Jehle and tour of Jamestown Island. Then we moved on to Jamestown Settlement, later we purchased hats in Williamsburg and fancied them up a bit, while Justin took a swim in the hotel pool. Later that evening there was a re-enactor who portrayed Patrick Henry and Gary DeMar spoke at the Marriott for Vision Forum.

Mr. Jehle telling the story of Capt. John Smith fighting the "David and Goliath" battle with the Muslim "Goliaths" and how all the ladies screamed. We'd heard it prior to this, but his rendition was great.

Turning an $18 hat into a $45+ hat. The girls purchased a plain hat, then added all the ribbon and detail, Abbey finished hers and it looked quite lovely.
