You Should Visit These Two Places In Virginia

 My sweetheart never disappoints. Last week, my dear hubby took me on an adventure.  It was an eventful, and exciting day for me. I finally got to visit a place I was supposed to have visited 3 years ago when we were here in VA. It is a place where my ancestors have walked. You see, 

On that one piece of paper I have included is our ancestry that a family member took the time and was provided the resources to trace our ancestry. We were always told all our lives by family members that we were related to an Indian Princess but no one knew who. 

At the bottom of the list and underlined is my biological great-grandfather on the Miller side. We were traced back to none other than the Legendary Chief Powhatan, through one of his many daughters, Cleopatra, half-sister of the Legendary Pocahontas. I'm sorry to find out that not a lot of history surrounds Cleopatra but she did, however, go on to become the Chief's Wife of the tribe (who in turn winds up being her half-uncle, half-brother to Chief Powhatan, after their father passed) I guess which made her a Queen of the tribe. All Powhatan chiefs were called Chief Powhatan. They were not called by their real names. More history is focused on Chief Powhatan and Pocahontas due to what happened at the settlement of Jamestown, VA, and England. 

Chief Powhatan had many tribes in his confederacy and spent alot of time at the settlement and Cleopatra and Pocahontas visited and played with many children at the settlement. Cleopatra is buried in Maryland and Pocahontas is buried at a Cathedral Church in England. Pocahontas was baptized into Christianity in England before she married John Rolfe and changed her name to Rebecca. 

My sweetheart took me to the Historic Jamestown Settlement in Williamsburg, VA. 

To say I was excited is an understatement. My heart literally beat so fast the whole time. We walked through the museum and outdoor demonstrations. I ran down both of our phones taking so many pics. There's no way I will be able to post all of them. (Sorry to family or friends who tried to call or text). We had to charge up our phones when we got back in the truck. 

Then we visited one more place. We drove 20 minutes over and went to the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown. The timing was perfect seeing though it was Veterans Day weekend. This place is awesome with an outdoor farm and settlement presentations as well. Once again I will never be able to upload all the pics but here are some. 

This is a day I will never forget. Please enjoy SOME of the pictures. The rest I will hold dear in my heart and possibly create a photo album. Thank you sweetheart for my adventure. I am truly grateful.  

I hope you enjoyed 😉
