Historic Eastern Seaboard last days

The last few days at Williamsburg have been busy.  We did get a chance to go into WIlliamsburg, but we mostly went through the old town merchant shops.  Then it started raining and we said that was plenty of sight seeing for the day.  The 13th we were busy working with Dean & Cheryl to get the farewell dinner ready.  We wanted to make this the best meal they had on the trip.  Before I forget here a picture of some color in the trees around Williamsburg.  We are hoping to get more as they really start changing.

We have the table set for the guest, we gave them a 4 course meal.  After the appitizer were set for them when they showed up.  Then we served them salad and then the main course of prim-rib or half a chicken.  They could not believe the meal we serived them.

These guest were great and really enjoyed them all.  It is hard to say good-by this morning when we left, but instend we said "May our paths cross soon!!!!"
The rest of the day we did some long driving.

It was a rough 33 mile drive to the Chesapeake Bay TTN.  We are just kicking back and resting a little for the rest of the day.  Tomorrow we are going out to do some sight seeing before heading to Pigion Forge for the Mega Rally.

Historic Eastern Seaboard Day 21

Today we left Richmond and headed towards Williamsburg.  It was a long drive but we made it with no problems.

Before we left this morning Cyndy went out and took a picture of the tree's here in the park starting to change.

Tomorrow we are heading into Williamsburg, Yorktown or maybe Jamestown.  But our first stop will be the visitors center in Williamsburg.

Historic Eastern Seaboard Day 22

We woke up to another beautiful sunny day, I don't know how many more we will get of these great days, but I will take them all.  We left College Park about 10:30 AM and only had 120 miles to drive down to Richmond, VA.

It was really a easy drive.  We had one problem today, and it has been the only one on the road.  One of our guest had a flat tire, but it wasn't to bad.  We found a Good year dealer just 2 miles away and it was an outside rear duel, so we drove there and had it fixed.  Then on the road again.

We are now in Virginia and on the final leg of our trip.

Cyndy really tried to get a good picture of the leaf's that are changing, I tell her to keep tiring and we will get them soon.  It is finally happening and the trees are turning colors, will get some good ones in the next couple of days.  Tomorrow we head to Williamsburg for the final leg of the trip.

Historic Eastern Seaboard Day 21

Today is a free day for us to do what ever we would like to do.  We had coffee first thing in the morning and then said good by to a two couples that were leaving today.  On had a 50 year class reunion in Arizona on Friday of this week and the other was heading back to California before heading to Mexico.  We then got in the truck and headed to the subway parking area so we could head downtown.

We got on the subway at College Park to head downtown.

Look out subway here we come.

We are standing in the middle of the National Mall heading towards the Washington Monument.

This is the building Cyndy was looking for so she could get the Passport Book Stamped.  She was in their for 20 minutes, then I found out the all the stamps for the National Monument were here.

We walked by the World War II Memorial

Our last stop on the Mall was Lincoln Monument.  Cyndy really enjoyed this and it is one of my favor's, too.

They are redoing the reflection pond.

Vietnam Memorial, by the time we got back past the Washington Monument our feet were killing us and we thought we would stop by the Smithsonian Museum.

Cyndy wanted to see the

Hope Diamond, I haven't figured out why, it just looks like some old rock!!!

She said that she didn't want one, something about it being to big!!!!

And here comes our subway to get us back to the truck, YAH!!!!!

Day 19 we had a nice restful day, everyone kind of stayed around the campground and just relaxed.  Some went out shopping, others did wash and some of us just tinkered around.  At 6:00 PM we loaded the bus for a night drive through Washington DC, this was an extra trip.  Here are some of the pictures that turned out.
