Williamsburg & Yorktown, A Drive down Memory Lane

 M & D put on my barking collar this AM because I have been rather vocal while we have been here. They aren't happy with me! ...I'm sorry?!
They left me to go on their Williamsburg/Yorktown driving tour and to get groceries before Christy and Gerry helped them return their rental car and go to dinner tonight. 
I hate being left, but I do love the food they bring back!

M & D said they had a lovely lunch at Williamsburg's Aromas. Mom even brought me some of her mushroom, bacon, onion & Swiss cheese quiche. 😃 It turned out to be a gorgeous day to drive around the two towns, W & M's campus, visit Yorktown's new uncompleted Victory Center & the old Visitor's Center. Once again our USA Senior Park passes got us in free! Lots of updates on W & M's campus and Yorktown's waterfront. Both are beautiful and really well done! 👌
Coming home via I 64 we saw this big electronic billboard that said HRBT and a number of min. Mom said, "What does that mean? HELL Raising Bad Times?" Dad's response was, "Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel". Mom told me her response was more accurate during busy times!!! 😱 
Loved the yummy goodies mom and dad brought home from the Naval Station Commissary! They brought more goodies back from their Jose Tequila’s dinner tonight…Can’t wait!!! 
Mom and dad said it was really hard to say goodbye to Christy and Gerry...they are the kind of friends that we don't get to see them often, but it is like we pick up right where we left off! Hope it won't be so long between visits now that our kids are grown!!! We can't thank them enough for their tour, Saturday's lunch, Christy's fantastic dinner last night and helping us return our rental car tonight. Not to mention putting up with us for one more dinner tonight! They are the BEST!!! It's one of the reasons we are on this crazy adventure!!! 
Intense storms coming through tonight, but we are buttoned down and cozy on Moondance...Thankfully, we are in an inside slip so a bit a rock and rollin but not nearly as bad as it could be!!! I understand Mom's mellow mood is directly related to an oversized medium Margherita she had at dinner...WHOA BABY!

We had NO idea that Yorktown had a really nice beach on the York River

Tomorrow we take off once all the storms are through the area to take Moondance to the Ocean Marine for minor but necessary repairs...Meaning we have to backtrack since it is in Portsmouth. We will spend the night there and move on to Deltaville, VA on Tuesday. 
Obviously, mom and dad are watching the weather closely, particularly Colin. We will stay in one place until any severe weather passes over...
