The girlfriend and I went to a B&B this weekend, while the owner of the B&B was a bit ahem "different" we had a great time. We've been to Williamsburg several times, but never went down to Yorktown. It is a very nice small town, with lots of history. General Thomas Nelson, who commanded the Virginia Militia during the revolutionary war and a signed of the Declaration of Independece is buried there. Some nice shops and GREAT restaraunts.Here are some pictures.

The B&B

The bridge crossing the York river on RT 17 North. It opens side ways. There are only two other bridges in the world like it. One at the Suez canal I think, and one in SE Asia.
