The next day we spent at Yorktown. It's a beautiful little town right on the river with lot's of quaint colonial homes, shops, and restaurants. We toured the Yorktown Victory center which again had movies, a museum, and a colony depicting the last battle of the Revolutionary war. We had the cutest tour guide, Anastasia (a U.S. History major from Russia) that had the cutest accent and made our tour of the battlefield really interesting and fun. We loved the demonstration of them firing a cannon. We also loved the demo at the medical tent where we learned about how they would amputate limbs, remove bullets, and about all the early medical instruments. We finished the day with ice cream and Ben and Jerry's and did the 8 mile driving tour of the battlefield itself. We learned so much and had a blast!
