We visited the site of the battle of Yorktown, fought in 1781, where the British surrendered to the Colonists, and where the fighting in the American Revolution ended.

Name That Bird

We were at the site of the battle of Yorktown today, in Yorktown, VA.  We saw this huge sucker of a bird circling over much of the area.  I took a ton of crappy pictures.  Can anyone tell us what type of bird these are?

Virginia Cold

We came to Virginia in the hopes of finding a little warmth in the early Spring. Instead we wore jackets all day yesterday and saw the most terrifying array of roller coasters ever seen upon the Earth. Busch Gardens, where daredevils go to scare themselves.

We are thinking of going somewhere less intimidating today.
