I meant to say Yorktown, not Jamestown.

Get your butt to Jamestown VA, not far from your planned stop.

Battlefields, history, great waterfront.

There's a biker's bar there right on the waterfront, and this is
serious -- don't miss it. The atmosphere (there is cigarette smoke, be
warned) is great fun, you and your kids will see very professional
looking people get out and fire up their Harleys, and others' inked
and tatooed, get in their minivans and drive away.

It's not far from there to Williamsburg. Don't bother getting a
ticket, park and walk through the area, visit old houses, enjoy the
history.

Buy some VA peanuts at the Peanut Shio! You'll never buy Planters
again.

Go look at the fleet at Newport News.

Wilmington NC is worth a stop, visit the Battleship, walk through some
old cotton factories.

On the way south stop in Charleston SC. Get down near the waterfront
and learn what a charming Southern City is really like. It's almost as
nice as Chapel Hill NC. Maybe nicer.

You'll be passing over New Orleans as well. The French Quarter will be
alive and well, even during Lent.

Follow my advice and you won't have time for TX!

Looking at the prog charts for the next several days, Texas looks like
a mess. Moderate to heavy rains, thunderstorms, yuck. Our plan to
head south on Sunday is scrubbed.

So, we're looking at heading to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina instead.
The progs look great for at least three or four days, and I'm sure
there is plenty to see and do in the Southeast -- an area that we have
not explored very much.

While we're there we'd like to show the kids some Civil War
battlefields, some aviation museums -- the usual tourist stuff.
Figure we'll be in the area for a few days, and then maybe try to fly
over to Texas along the Gulf coast, once the weather clears.

Any recommendations?
