My nephew, James, and his wife, Heather, spent a long weekend in Virginia for Thanksgiving. As I shared on Monday, they first visited Colonial Williamsburg. Then they went to visit historic Jamestowne, Virginia.
Jamestowne was founded on May 13, 1607. It was the first permanent English settlement in America. It saw the beginning of many of our nation’s institutions, including representative government. Today all of Jamestowne Island is part of Colonial National Historical Park.

So very beautiful! I feel like James and Heather are like old friends or neighbours that I have known over the years.. Thank you, Carol, for sharing them.
You got some lovely pictures. Like paintings. #Skywatch
So much wonderful history in Jamestowne. The 4th photo is gorgeous!
aaaah…Virginia skies!!!! beautiful.
I was to historic Jamestown some 25 years ago. I don’t think it was part of a historic park then-there was a lot of archeological research being done when we visited. The statue overlooking the water (which I don’t remember, either), I assume, is pointing back towards England. Alana ramblinwitham
Good one.
Williamsburg is forever in my bucket list.
Worth a Thousand Words

This looks so fun! My wife and I love to explore historical cities like Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg. We hope to be able to take a trip back there soon once life starts to calm down again after the holidays. Thanks for sharing!
