The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

The Colonial Parkway, Virginia-- Part 1

I received a brochure in the mail from America's Historic Triangle featuring Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown. They have tickets and vacation packages that you can buy to visit the five major sites they have, all connected by what they call the Colonial Parkway, a 23-mile long road.

I think I might have visited Jamestown and Williamsburg with my family many years ago, but am not sure. Either way, I definitely plan to go to them at some time in the near future.


FIVE ATTRACTIONS

HISTORIC JAMESTOWNE-- the first permanent English settlement, now over 400 years old. The James Fort excavation is going on and you can watch real archaeology in action.

JAMESTOWN SETTLEMENT-- a living-history museum.

COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG-- oldest and largest interactive history experience.

THE YORKTOWN VICTORY CENTER-- a museum of the American Revolution.

YORKTOWN BATTLEFIELD-- last major engagement of the war. Visit the Moore House where surrender negotiations were drawn up. Also tour the site of the British surrender.

I "toured" the parkway in 2005. Enjoyable, educational, and I want to do it again.
