Kids Love Virginia History-Really!
How do you sneak in Virginia history on Fun Family Day Trips? Michele Zavatsky tells all! Go on a virtual field trip with Michele across the state learning about the best places to observe or interact with history. Kids can discover where ponies swim and dolphins dance. Dig into archaeology and living history, or be dazzled by natural bridges. We'll tell you how colonial, American Indian and pioneer folks lived, and even how to dance the Virginia Reel or cook with stones. You'll know where to go to learn the secrets of making clay bricks, digging for fairy stones, commanding a battleship, or making pinch pots. We'll provide the "scoop" on the best little historic museums and tell you where to play dress-up, look for "fried eggs and bacon," or follow the path where the Civil War began and ended. Want Action? Trolley, trot, or walk past famous homes. Drive you car underwater or through a zoo. Raft downtown natural whitewaters, ride a bateau on the James, touch a starfish, or catch a wink from a mermaid. Pack your knapsack as you follow "A Soldier's Life." If you're hungry, Michele knows where to observe old-world trades and modern twists on popular foods like potato chips and cakes and jam. Unusual themed restaurants include old taverns or railroad depots, a gristmill serving yummy corn cakes, dining in the same room Washington once celebrated birthdays, or reminiscing about simpler times on Walton's Mountain. When you're full, take a relaxing trolley, train, boat, or bike ride along well-planned paths past pieces of history and unusual natural formations. From Indians to presidents or old-time crafting to colonists, Michele can teach you how to easily plan inexpensive, educational day trips around historical Virginia!
