Final Day and heading home

On Sunday morning we played mini golf with Lyla and her family, before an emotional farewell and drive back to Washington Dulles airport. We were Premium Economy on the flight home, which was nice, including a nice glass of fizz. Only downside was arriving back in London on a wet Monday morning!

Chesapeake Bay and meeting friends

We drove over the bridge and tunnel to Virginia's Eastern Shore. We drove up the quiet peninsula, stopping off at Salisbury for lunch.  Our destination was Cambridge, where Izzy met up for the evening with her internet friend Lyla who had come over with her mom and dad from Baltimore. We had dinner and watched a pool movie all together.

The battle of Yorktown

We checked out of our hotel and headed to Yorktown, location of the siege that led to the end of the Revolutionary war. We went round the museum and then the battlefield itself, on the edge of the town. We saw one of the houses in the town that still has a cannonball in it's wall. Afterwards we drove down to Virginia Beach and our seafront hotel.
