Last Saturday we decided to go up to Jamestown for a few hours. We decided that one nice thing about only being on this side of the country for a few months is that we feel a much more urgent need to visit our local tourist attractions. When I was growing up we lived in Heber City for 7 years and kept "meaning" to go up to Timpanogos Cave. We never did.
But, we know Jared graduates on March 30 so we have a deadline. Deadlines are great for making sure you get thing done. So, we went off to Jamestown. It was pretty cool. The have a mock up of an Indian Village (the modern day remenants of the related tribes said they prefer being called Indians, not Native Americans), a rebuilt replica of of the original fort and replicas of the three ships that came across with the orignal settlers. By the way, so not a fun trip. The ship we looked at housed 52 (54?) men for six weeks in a space no bigger than my living/dining room. That space starts to feel small after a week with just me and Eliza. Imagine 50+ smelly men using chamber pots. *shudder*
Anyway. Here are a couple short videos.
Chickens. Eliza like these.
One of the ships, the Godspeed. (The other's were the Susan Constant and the DiscoverY.) This is the middle sized one. Eliza didn't really care about this, except that she learned the word "ship" which I'm not sure I want to encourage. Her pronounciation is less than stellar.
A rooster. Another of Eliza's favorite parts. For some reason she didn't get the draw of the inanimate objects. Sheesh.
I've been to Jamestown and LOVED it! SO fun. By the way, I am super impressed with your chicken roasting skills, if I ever dare attempt it, I will come here for some tips.
