Williamsburg

Yesterday, we got up and drove toward Williamsburg, stopping in Richmond to earn Jr Ranger badges for the Richmond Battlefields. We stopped at a couple of battlefield sites, but rain kept us from getting out and walking around. We did spend an hour at Cold Harbor, a small visitor center that had a real nice electric map that detailed two civil war battles, one in 1862 and the other in 1864.

In the afternoon we spent a few hours at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It's a nice park. It doesn't have a lot of large family rides like a Disney park, but the landscaping is pretty, with fairly heavy surrounding woods.

Each area is themed to a different country in Europe, and they were all decorated for Halloween. We would have stayed longer, but the rain caused us to call it a night. Unfortunately it rained pretty hard all day today, so we just sat around the RV. My wife did scrapbooking and I worked and the kids did some school work and played games.
