Yorktown Pub, Yorktown, Virginia

The Yorktown Pub is one of our favorite places to eat when we go to Yorktown to visit the beach, Riverwalk Landing, Historic Yorktown, or the battlefield. Though not fancy outside, the food is great and along with a cold beverage provides a nice respite from the sun on the beach, which is just across the street where we stood to take this photo.

Unique Tree Growth, Yorktown, Virginia

Along the moss covered brick fence of the Grace Episcopal Church in Historic Yorktown, we spotted this incredibly odd tree growth; the tree is firmly rooted on both sides of the fence.  Apparently it was growing inside the fence but eventually managed to grow over and around it. We have never seen this before but thought it was worth sharing.
