We love a small town farmers market and this one did not disappoint!  Yorktown has a large open grassy area in town and uses it for events including a farmers market. We bought some local wines, potato chips, button zucchini, Heirloom tomatoes and huge green onions. Grocery stores have been “basic” lately and it’s making us miss our Texas HEB! These farmers markets help compensate for it.

In the afternoon, we visited the American Revolution Museum of Yorktown.  Kelly has been reading a biography about George Washington and was excited about the museum. The success of American Revolution was largely accredited to George Washington and Ben Franklin. Franklin traveled to France and lobbied to the French to help American Patriots which got the French to help Washington to win the war against the British. Thank God for Washington and Franklin!

At the museum, we learned about day to day military life. They recreated a military camp. We saw their tents which was 7 feet by 7 feet and held up to nine soldiers! We learned about the medicine and tools doctors used which was very primitive and painful! We even got watch them shoot a real cannon!  

Afterwards we walked through the Waterman’s Museum in town. They had a lot of cool model ships.

Afterwards, Jen made tortellini soup which was delicious as usual!
