U.S. Roadtrip: VA is for Virginia (Chesapeake)

Our first and longest stop in Virginia was in Chesapeake, a place with lots of history. It was the first English Settlement in the U.S., named Jamestown. We stayed with a very nice family with several grand children so lots and lots of toys, too :-)

The first day we were all taken to Jamestown settlement which is a build up replica of the original settlement but not at the exact same spot. We had a guided tour and learned a lot about the settlers but also the Indians and Pocahontas.



Gabriel found a bug/friend, a potato beetle




All the states' flags outside the entrance

Notice the Swedish settlers!!

Unfortunately, Marlee got a really bad tooth ache during our stay here and I took him to the dentist. He ended up having to pull his tooth. Luckily it was a baby tooth. It will not be his last health issue during this trip...
