Once in Jamestown, we did what every other tourist would do. We went straight to the Visitor's Center. (In fact, we visited every visitor's center we could find!) Joel found his way to Alabama's flag and I went straight to the beautiful Tennessee flag.
Following Colonial Parkway, we headed to Colonial Williamsburg while stopping to read all historic placards on the way. Joel was a little disappointed when we stopped at this Visitor's Center and I refused to rent colonial costumes. I think these guys made him jealous.
We did all the normal touristy stuff in W'burg until it started to rain. It put a little damper on our time. 
A lady asked me when I was taking this picture if I wanted in also. My knee jerk reaction was "no thanks". I guess I am on sabbatical from picture posing due to the last 3 years. I sort of wish I had gotten in this one.
Last but not least, we made a stop at the College of William and Mary. I have always loved this campus and this was my first visit to the Wren Building.
After W'burg, we headed to Yorktown. Needless to say, we were pretty much out of steam at this point and the rain was a pouring.
That evening we joined my girlfriend, Adrienne, for everyone's first Doumar's experience. Doumar's is credited for inventing the waffle cone in 1905 at the St. Louis World's Fair. It's a great dive and I had to visit since it was on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives recently. The food is typical fast fare but the environment is fun. Our waiter was awesome and the waffle cone is delish! I guess you could say we had an educational weekend.
Joel, I will come North soon so you can show me around. Then, we will plan something a little more present day excitement for Va Beach trip round 2.
