My parents cam to visit me in May (ahem sorry for the long time) for my birthday. We did a little road trip. First stop was the Historical Triangle up in Virginia. My reasoning behind this was a) it's not Durham and b) I quite like history. Here is my photoblog. First up is Williamsburg. It's a cool open air museum and was the old capital of Virginia.
I just like this photo
Next up is Jamestown. The first British settlement in America. I am glad I don't have to come over on that boat.
I really am a photo geek. I quite like explosions too. Not bad timing, aye?
Next stop Yorktown. Where we kinda surrendered the US to those colonial types. It's quite a cool place though. Here is the Virginia chapter of the Studebaker drivers club, just chilling out, maxin', relaxin'.
My dad and I both love going on boats, so we took a trip on this bad boy. It was pretty slow going out down the river but got faster on the way back.
Diffraction limit anyone? I'll get my coat.
There was a civil war battle at Yorktown too. They do like recreating stuff.
Speaking of battles. I managed to convince my dad to play mini-golf.
All smiles here but out on the course it was a tightly contested affair. In the end we played two rounds and it ended 1-1.
I really do like taking black and white photos of bars.
Next we moved onto Plymouth, VA. We were driving down to coastal NC and it made sense to stop here. Managed to stumble upon an old red phone box. They get everywhere don't they?
While not on many tourists list of places to go it was actually quite nice.
A little patriotic, but still nice.
They even had the oldest running ferry. It was a cool way to get to Norfolk, VA. Where do they get these names from?
OBX next.
