Yorktown

For the last two nights of Bretts “Griswold Vacation” we decided to stay at a b&b in Yorktown, VA. Joanie and I had been here years earlier for a wedding and really wanted to come back and explore the area. The owners and staff went out of their way to keep everything as normal as possible while at the same time going out of their way to ensure social distancing.

The area has so much history capped by The Battle of Yorktown during the American Revolutionary War. It was such an important battle because if the Americans would have lost there’s a good chance now we would all be speaking English…oh hold on.

On Saturday Joan and Brett took a day trip to Colonial Williamsburg to see what that town had to offer while I spent the afternoon getting my heart broken, again, by my favorite college football team. They spent the day walking the streets but most activities and/or events had been cut way back or closed altogether. I spent the rest of the day reminiscing of “what could have been”.

On Sunday we took it easy in Yorktown checking out the city and enjoying the local open market. We finished the day with a driving tour of the battle of Yorktown, you could almost hear George’s wooden teeth rattling as we drove through the beautiful sites.

The 2 weeks with our sweet little girl flew by and we delivered her back to Arlington, VA safe and sound to her waiting husband. A few game of cards, a nice sleep in the pull out couch and on to pick up Little Al for our last adventure south.

Best of the best was the Yorktown Pub where we had at least 3-4 meals sitting in their newly constructed outdoor tent. We definitely received our seafood fix each day with great chowder, gumbo, seafood and appetizers. It’s ok though, we’ll workout in the morning…

On to Boone, NC.
