Mike's Trip to Williamsburg 2007
Last Christmas, I got four Historic Triangle tickets to Colonial Williamsburg. The tickets are good at Jamestown
Settlement, Colonial Williamsburg and the Yorktown Victory Center and Historic Jamestowne and Yorktown Battlefield.
In the spring, I went to Williamsburg with my first foreign exchange student, Pea. In the fall, I went with my two
foreign exchange students, Thananan and Sulaiman.
Both times, we went to Colonial Williamsburg for one day, to Busch Gardens Europe for one day, and Jamestown for one
day. In the spring, we had a little more time and also went to Yorktown.
Here are some pictures from our fall trip to Williamsburg.
