Touring Yorktown Battlefield

While we were standing in the yard at Moore House we were lucky enough to see the scooner traveling down the York River.
Moore House: On October 18, 1781, officers from both sides met at this home to negotiate the surrender terms for Cornwallis's army. Terms were successful. The house and land was purchased in the 1930's by the National Parks and fix up.



This small tree was on the Battlefield road, I just thought it was pretty, I have no idea what it is but liked it. There are a lot of Magnolia's here would be wonderful to see them in bloom. We were told by a park ranger that they bloom twice a year, and wouldn't you know it the last of the season was a couple of weeks ago......
