Oh The Places You Will Go...: Pocahontas, John Smith, and Wild Ponies!!

Last weekend we took a little trip down south to where it all began... to be exact where America began!! Cool right?? no it was like 102 degrees... haha!! It was way cool!! We first stopped in Williamsburg and hit Jamestown and Yorktown!! For those of you who don't know what that means here is a little history lesson, i may or may not have had to google it myself!! :) Jamestown is known as the first permanent place for settlers when they first came to America some 400 years ago! Pocahontas ring a bell? John Smith? Yup met them both! Yorktown is where the Battle Of Yorktown was held, revolutionary war anyone? It now is a big field, with a cute little beach town on the coast! Williamsburg is the big name for the area surrounding it! We stayed in a hotel in Newport News and then the next day headed back up north towards home! Along the way we stopped at Assateague Island, and Chincoteague Island!! They had a little resort town there with a huge beach on the coast!! These Islands are known for their wild horses that run free on them! We saw a few! Every year they have a 'Pony Swim' where they round up all the horses and lead them across the water to the auction place!! That probably doesn't really make sense but its cool, so trust me... or google it!! We missed it by only a couple weeks but they have awesome pictures of it everywhere!! We took the day then to just play on the beach, it was a BLAST!!!
