Day 6 of Tour has been packed full of activity! We left our host homes this morning to travel to Yorktown for a brief history lesson at the Visitor’s Center and a visit to the Revolutionary War Battlefield, followed by lunch at a bayside café or pub. The choir then performed a full concert at Chesapeake Retirement Community in Newport News and spent some time with the residents. We lost a few kids today—Dana left for a while to spend some time with relatives and we dropped Sarah off at the airport, but the others all found their way back to us. Finally, we checked into our lodging at the Seahorse at Sandbridge Bed and Breakfast where we helped prepare a delicious meal and had time to enjoy the pool, the hot tub, the hammock, and a variety of games. And we visited the Equikids farm where we will be doing mission work tomorrow.
“Yorktown was an interesting place to visit. It was the site of the last major battle of the Revolutionary War and the place in which America won their Independence. The National Park displays artifacts from the battle such as rifles, shot guns and hats. We viewed a 30 minute informational video and tromped around the fields in which our forefathers fought for our freedom. It was an educational experience to remember.”—Laura C.
