Day 5-Robert E. Lee--Birth place

--

This plantation was nice to see.  Robert E. Lee was born here and lived here until he was about 3.  It is interesting to see the architecture and how they lived and how the slaves lived and worked.  Clearing the land had to be a never-ending job for them. 

These are the gardens behind the house.  The little kids would have loved to run up and down the rows.  Instead of gravel along the walk ways there were crushed oyster shells.

Bryan was able to enjoy this vacation and work a little too.  His phone was on and he was working!

I loved all the carriages that each plantation had.  There were fancy but I bet rough to ride in!

There are real rivers back there.  These make ours look like a canal!  We have real mountains however.

This was the mina bird that kept us entertained at lunch.  He said quite a few phrases.
  The teachers got to go to Williamsburg on our own bus without the students so we could stop and eat at a nifty little diner.  More fresh seafood!
