Former Interior Secretary Sally Jewell decided she and her husband will visit national parks as she takes a break following her departure last week from Washington, D.C.

As Climate News reported, the former CEO of sport goods retailer REI said she was “definitely not retiring” but looking forward to a break. Her first stop was to the Colonial National Historical Park in Jamestown, Virginia. There, she posed with archaeologists from the group Jamestown Rediscovery, a public-private partnership jointly operated by the National Park Service and Preservation Virginia.

Of course, Jewell used the occasion to tweet messages including one that pointed out how historic Jamestown is “now threatened by climate change/sea level rise!”

She also tweeted her criticism of a transmission line project that cross the Captain John Smith Chesapeake Historic Trail.
