Our first adventure took us to Natural Bridge, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, and a historic Virginia tourist attraction. While we were there, we also watched "The Wonder of Creation," a light and music show that tells the Biblical story of creation. | |

Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg |
||
| In February, we headed east to Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg. We talked to an archaeologist at Historic Jamestowne, walked down Duke of Gloucester Street with an architect in Williamsburg, and met many historical interpreters at both sites. Despite inclement weather, the trip was a great success. |

In March, we went north to the Jersey Shore
and New York. We toured Asbury Park with the author of 4th of July, Asbury Park, a book we'd read earlier in the semester, and also talked with a developer working on Asbury's revitalization. In New York City, we visited Times Square and Central Park, two of the cities most popular tourist destinations. And in Coney Island, we walked through the amusement park and ate hot dogs at the original Nathan's Hotdog Stand. |

Our final trip of the semester took us to
Savannah, GA; St. Augustine, FL; Orlando, FL; Disney World; and the
Okefenokee Swamp in GA. Along the way, we visited a colonial Spanish
fort, met with the Editorial Board Editor of the Orlando Sentinel,
explored the Magic Kingdom, and got up close to some big gators. The trip tied together many of the themes we've talked about all semester - tourism, magic, illusion, community, business and more. Check out our itinerary and photos from the many sites we visited by clicking on the link above!
