Historic Jamestowne is basically an archeological dig with a few artifacts and curios. It seemed even less likely to provide toddler fun than Yorktown. We were wrong again. You can take pictures of sticks.
You can run across a bridge with reckless abandon.
You can look at a dead guy.
Richmond is the home of the White House of the Confederacy. You can't really tell from the photo how nestled between giant buildings it is.
Here's the other side. The house tour was fascinating, but really turned out to be more about the life of Jefferson Davis and family than the Civil War itself. The Museum of the Confederacy is next door and it specializes in that latter part. Oh, and if you're wondering what activity on the trip was the most boring for a 3-year-old, it was this tour by a longshot. Nothing else even came close to producing the amount of boredom induced by this.
In addition to the his countless other accomplishments, Thomas Jefferson is credited with designing the capitol of Virginia.
Off to Charlottesville.
