Colonial Jamestowne in Virginia
Cindy’s father John has always been interested in studying their family genealogy and it has been his hobby for the past ten years. Every once in a while he would discover something interesting and it would be a major event. Perhaps it was a little longer than ten years that he’s been working on their family tree as he began his efforts before so much data and resources were available online. Needless to say that when he discovered the family name traced back to colonial Jamestown he was greatly excited and the rest of the family was interested.
This discovery caused an immediate plan to be made to visit Jamestown and some of the other historical settlement areas and attractions found in the state of Virginia. As it turned out, only John, Cindy and her brother Walter were able to make the trip and stay in one of the best Virginia hotels but that was okay as they were also the most interested in it. Cindy was more interested in settlement history while both her father and brother were primarily interested in its significance to their family. This did not create any conflict or disturbance to their plans, it just meant some of their focuses would go in opposite directions along the way.
They arrived in Virginia and immediately went to Jamestown Island. They were all incredibly impressed with and interested in exploring the Jamestown Settlement Colony once they were there. The reproduction of some of the early settlement aspects was extremely lifelike and while John and Walter began looking for evidence of their family name, Cindy explored the Powhatan Village. She also walked along the waterway and enjoyed the replication of the ship Susan Constant. She had a great time wondering through all of the historic attractions, such as the statue of John Smith in Historic Jamestowne while her brother and father were off somewhere else. Ultimately, they all achieved what they were seeking through the trip. John found the evidence of his family’s name which captivated Walter and Cindy had an great time exploring the colonial settlement’s history.
