Yorktown Days

Last week we celebrated the 225th Battle of Yorktown. You know the battle where the French navy came over and helped us beat Britain? Well, it was a big deal here and great fun too! There were 4 days worth of celebrations. We got the first day off of work so we went up to Yorktown for the parade. They did such a good job. They even had the French marines from Brittany participating. Nat was pretty happy. He got to sing his national anthem as well as speak French for an hour or two with one of the soldiers he made friends with.

There were replicas of old ships and plenty of FREE fun! One night they had live bands and dancing down by the ocean, so we went up for that too. That weekend my cousin Shonda came from San Francisco for a visit, so she got to join us for some of the festivities. Enjoy the pictures!
