Last of the little winter vacation

Our last day in DC, we only had until 1PM to tour, because we had to catch a train back to the Manassas airport.

So, we went to the only museum that we paid to enter - the International Spy Museum. I really wasn't that impressed....but it was crowded and we were a bit rushed.

So, back to the hotel for our stuff, and a couple of blocks to Union Station to catch the train.

Union Station - really cool.

The roof inside Union Station, shopping mall, restaurants.  A mini-city unto itself!

We were catching a commuter train that runs on the Amtrak rails.

Here it is!!  Country girl in the big city.

Ours was the first run of the afternoon, so we were the first to enter our car.  It never was crowded, I'm assuming because this was a holiday weekend and no real "commuters"!  Double decks - the view from above was great!

Relaxing on the 1 hr ride

After a chilly and very windy takeoff, we made our way south to Williamsburg/Jamestown.  Flying over the sound on the approach, you can see the Navy "boneyard" - where they anchor some ships.  I don't know if they are just stored there or going to be scraped.




We met some of Dick and Lindy's friends from long ago for a wonderful dinner.  The next day we toured the historic Jamestown site.

Their friend Tom is retired, but one day a week he gives tours at the site.  It wasn't his normal day to tour, but he came out and provided us with a wonderful, insightful tour of the original Jamestown settlement.

What a whirlwind!!!  Here Dick and Lindy and the McCraws parted ways.  They flew on home, we flew to the boat!!

Nothing much going on....beautiful day, though!

I guess it's back to work and the New Year!!!
