We've twice driven past Yorktown while complaining about the two hour drive to the coast at Virginia Beach.
On the hottest day so far this year we decided to try this tiny estuary resort recently rebuilt after serious hurricane damage, and 230 years after serious battle damage. The British were a little less welcome at that time.
We all paddled (waded) and swam in the slightly murky York river, made sand angels and enjoyed the sunshine. Note to self: slightly saggy English-pale men need sun screen.
Both girls confidently strode into the water. M attempted swimming and even dispensed with the arm-bands.
We also enjoyed comforting diner food at the River Rooms in the Duke of York Motel and stopped to show our respects, on Memorial Day, at The Yorktown Victory Monument.
