We decided to try the Claude Moore Colonial Farm - A working farm made historical to the year of our Lord 1771 that a family operated farm in Northern Virginia - their "rent" was all of their tobacco crop - 500 pounds a year, the rest of the 5 acre land was whatever else they harvested they could trade with or eat. It was a quick tour only taking about an hour - we ate lunch under their shade trees, bitten by flies, and thankful that we did not have to stay out there all day like the family that was living on the farm - we were in shorts and t-shirts with water bottles, the ladies had quite a bit of clothing on - with fires burning in the small house that slept 6. We were thankful it was really 2008; so we all decided to go into some air conditioning and went to the AMC movie theater to watch the new Indiana Jones movie and cooled down. When we came out of the movie around 5pm it had rained and the temperature was much more bearable now.
We came back to the campground to get our stuff ready for Sunday.
