*these trip entries are gonna be a couple of days behind*
Day 2: so we woke up, packed our things, and got back on the road again (with ME behind the wheel!). i drove for about an hour and a half and had to let my dad take over so he could get us to the appomatox court house....*sigh*. it was hot....ugh, a lot of buildings, and...did i mention that it was very hot?
i then drove us partly on the way to Montichello, Thomas Jefferson's house(for people who don't that), and then once again my dad took over. i have already seen Montichello before, so i didn't hear anything that i hadn't heard before. i did, however, find out how Jefferson kept ice: they had to cut giant blocks of ice out of the river then store it in a huge round cellar-type thing.
we then drove ALL the way to UVA and walked around some, and then we headed out for the two-hour drive to Williamsburg. it was very dark by the time we got to colonial Willimsburg, and the streets weren't very well lit, so we almost had to sleep in the car, but THANKFULLY we were able to find the main check-in building of the hotel, and found our way to the room with help from a very nice man.
