Appomattox & Blue Ridge Parkway

After Jamestown we drove east to Pocahontas State Park, south west of Richmond, where we stayed the night. 

 

Yesterday we continued east to Appomattox Court House National Historic Park, where Lee surrendered to Grant to end the Civil War. We spent almost two hours looking through the buildings and the visitor center. From there we continued east to the Peaks Of Otter Campground, which is part of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

This morning we picked up Junior Ranger packets from the Peaks of Otter visitor center, and the kids completed them as we drove the Parkway to the Folk Art Center near Asheville, North Carolina, where we turned them in. We then camped nearby.
