- Опубликовано: 28 мар 2022
- Join us for my first ever visit to Colonial Williamsburg and Merchants Square in Williamsburg Virginia as part of our March 2022 road trip from Florida to Virginia! In this video, we take you from the visitor center to Colonial Williamsburg as we stroll the streets and step into the past, visiting shops, the courthouse, crafts people, shows and more, and eating delicious food at The Cheese Shop in Merchants Square for lunch and the most amazing dinner with really fun facts given by our awesome server at the King's Arm Tavern! We have a lot of fun, as the day gets more and more fun as it goes on and we get more acclimated to things. A great and interesting first visit, even though some things weren't exactly as I expected. We end with a gorgeous sunset and stroll back to the visitor center. I hope you enjoy this step back to the Virginia Colony and interesting mix of history and modernity in Colonial Williamsburg and Merchants Square!
Welcome to Super Enthused! My name is Jackie and I bring you along as we visit fun and unique travel destinations, theme parks and attractions, road trips, resort tours and so much more. I hope you enjoy the videos, thanks for being here! ❤️

Maybe just a few weeks too early...March is a tough call here in the North East❄️☀️...Been Freezing 🥶 our Bums off here in PA the last few days! Lovin’ The Trip guys👍🏻
Jackie and/or Sam Could you please Stop at Buckees on yor return trip I'm trying to locate a Tye Dyed Tshirt for Easter thst is imprinted with But Have YOU DYED..as in dyeing Eggs. I hope you can I really appreciate it. Today is Msrch 29. My 62nd Birthday. I hope you are able to help. BLESS YOU.BOTH. SAFE TRAVELS from Tammy in PA
I already commented, but I wanted to write you another one. Have you been to Mystic Connecticut? They have such awesome old school stuff at the Mystic Seaport :)
Buc-ees is AWSOME! We stop at either St. Augustine or Daytona every trip.
@@MommyNancy1979 Not yet but it's on the list, Nancy!! I bet we'll love it!
Perfect Phantom of the Opera!
this is the kind of vlog I have wanted to see; jackie and Sam exploring the world outside of Disney. I am so excited to see your adventures (and what Same will end up producing for his channel). You are are soooo good together. Thank you for making my day. You have no idea how much I appreciate your positivity and what it does for my emotional well being.
Thank you for all your kindness! I checked to see your past comments to see if you’ve seen them bc you might like all the UK and travel vlogs I’ve done in the past too!! If you like the non disney stuff too, the travel vlog playlist I have has hundreds!! But even if you don’t want to rewatch old ones, I hope I make you proud bc we have lots of exciting trips and travels coming up, my friend! Ps I love mother goose haha! ❤️❤️❤️
AWAY from the Disney parks is THE best content. Disney is really a huge disappointment now. Walt would NOT be happy.
This is actually the stuff that I love seeing you do. Something less known. Something a little less seen. Something significant. I'm sure Jackie as a sociologist is fascinated
It was really interesting and kind of different than I expected. I’m glad you like it too Ana, bc I know it’s different from the usual stuff ❤️ it wasn’t easy to edit this but I tried haha.
This was THE BEST VA blog ever! Thank YOu!!!!!!❤
it's so pretty there. And I love the History
After Walt Disney World and the Biltmore Estate, Colonial Williamsburg is our favorite place to visit. So glad you got to visit!
Williamsburg should consider itself lucky that Sam didn't re-claim the colony as revenge in the name of the ghost of King George III..I mean he did say he would send a fully-armed battalion to remind us of his love 😂
If you're ever in PA or NJ, I highly recommend visiting Valley Forge and Jockey Hollow National Historical Parks respectively. Jockey Hollow is outside Morristown and it was used by the Continental Army was their main winter encampment. Washington's headquarters during the encampment is still preserved in the middle of town. And Valley Forge is another winter encampment used (it's where they stayed after failing to retake Philly) that has a HUGE memorial arch that reminds me of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. I know all of this because I've been to those places for scouting to do their ten mile trails. And trust me, there's *SO* much history in the Northeast
I love Colonial Williamsburg :)
Christmas time in Colonial Williamsburg is the best. One of my favorite places on the planet.
Years ago the Raleigh Tavern bake shop made cookies that were wonderful!
Nothing is better than Apple Cider and on a cool day drinking it piping hot to warm you up.
Seeing a nice warm crackling fireplace.
Your blue hat is cute Jackie.
AS a reenactor myself (Roman 1st Cen. Crusader, WW1 & WW2) it's always fun going to these sites and chatting up fellow reenactors . WE love getting good Q's and explaining stuff letting people touch and try on items. for example my WW2 unit we let people kit up in a parachute with gear so they can get the feel of how heavy it was for paratroopers. For Roman we did the kid's Cohort with plastic swords / helmets and shields to teach formations while parents threw foam rocks at them. we have Old Sturbridge Village here in MA and they host a very large "Redcoats and Rebels " battle reenacment along with a very fun "Christmas by Candlelight" glad to see you enjoying it. FYI we always love to be asked "Are you hot in that?" lol
So glad you are visiting Virginia!! Lived here all my life it has so much to offer. The cheese shop is my favorite!!!! Welcome to VA
Glad to see y’all enjoyed Colonial Williamsburg.
My son went to William and Mary and I always enjoyed walking around Colonial Williamsburg when I visited him…beautiful place in the spring and autumn
Can't wait to sit and watch this!! Soo excited! They filmed my favorite TV show called TURN Washington's Spies. It was about the culpa spy ring that happened here on Long Island
Absolutely love these road trips and how you stop at different not just go straight from point A to point B
We have been there many times and you captured all the fun!
watching ...🥰
Lol at taking your British Boyfriend to Colonial Williamsburg! I know it was an English colony, but it sure didn't stay that way! 🤪
Yes, go back at Christmas. You won't regret it!!
We ate at thekings arms tavern many years ago and it was great back then. It was really great since it was dark outside and we ate only by candle light.
If you ever go back, visit the Raleigh Tavern Bake Shop in the morning when they are baking ginger cookies in the brick oven. Nothing like a warm cookie straight out of that oven!!!!!
I love how you're just regular enthused in this one, showing a reverence for American history. :)
It's so important to preserve History!!! Love places like this!!!
What an awesome vlog. I love exploring historical sites
This brings back so many great memories!! Thank you!!
Jackie singing in the tunnel was really pleasant surprise. 🎶
Sam… your turn next. 🤣
I hope you got to the mountains, and the blue ridge parkway on your trip, if you've never been, and being from flat Florida, its amazing.
We’re doing the mountains next month! Got so many trips planned for this year ahhhh! So excited ❤️
@@SuperEnthused Your going to love it!
When Connie and I got engaged Williamsburg was our first vacation together. That was back in 94. Can't wait to get back there. King's Arm Tavern is our favorite love that place. Thank you Jackie!! ❤❤❤
That was our first vacation after becoming engaged also! Holds a special place in our hearts!
@@hollygrimes283 that's awesome. Us too.❤
Welcome to Virginia!! I really enjoyed your trip to Busch Gardens. Williamsburg is such a neat town I love it down there. Hope you enjoy your stay
Making the walkway with markers to show what you had/didn't have yet was a nice touch, emphasizing that you are going to see a totally different society than you are used to. And makes you appreciate even more the things you have now
HISTORICAL MONTAGE - MAN give you the right background...
I love colonial Williamsburg and kings arms has such good food, Christina campbell’s tavern was my favorite tho. It’s definitely off season come back in the summer. You will love it.
We use to go a lot. They do ghost tours at night in some of the homes with period actors . Really good
Yea I've heard the ghost tours are good, hope we can do one next time!
For Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown and Yorktown, you'd need at least 3 or 4 days to really experience everything that is available to see and do.
I take my boys at least two or three times a year.
What a great video about the combination of England and the states to form a separate culture with the perfect hosts, Sam and Jackie. Thanks 😊
Haha the irony was not lost on us!
Thank you so much for showing this video. My wife and I have been looking for a place to go that is relaxing. The shops and food here look amazing. A lot to see and stroll around. Enjoy watching your videos.
I'd recommend going in the summertime when everything is open. The Fat Canary restaurant in Market Square is pricey but well worth it!
Thank you for this amazing video I loved Colonial Williamsburg when I visited
I’m really enjoying watching your adventure-as a Virginian I’m so pleased that you like my commonwealth-I think you would really enjoy a return trip to Williamsburg at Christmas time-it’s magical (just make sure Sam wears long pants😂)
Yes! The wreaths are so pretty!
I lived there five years. I miss it greatly. Great video!
I'm having so much fun binge watching your videos since I just found them. You are bringing back so many memories of my childhood my kids childhood places we went. And I'm loving it thank you so much for sharing your videos. My kids loved colonial Williamsburg they love Jamestown the battlefield all of it Busch gardens Kings Dominion we had so much fun!
Evening concerts at the palace are excellent. Next time try going to the Raleigh Tavern bakery as soon as they open for warm ginger cakes and warm apple cider
Loved your video. Being a resident of Williamsburg, you should come back during the summer and also especially Christmas! It’s completely magical !
Colonial Williamsburg is amazing!! I definitely want to visit again!
I want to go there just for the food! 😋
Honestly it's a highlight!
I am so glad to see the yard square napkins are back at the Kings Arms. At one point they were not using them.
Wow, I was last in Williamsburg in 1976. Im glad its kept in charm!
I went there on a school field trip back in middle school. It’s a beautiful place.
Singing Angel of Music gave me goosebumps! I loved it. I wish I could have heard the whole song. Sam's "sing for me "🤩😍🤩😍🤩
Thanks for sharing this..especially Kings Arms Tavern. My grandmother was a re-enactor in Colonial Williamsburg in the 90s. She played Jane Vobe, the tavern keeper for Kings Arms. She passed away when I was 7 in 1998, but her picture was actually on one of those rotating columns in the visitors center (you actually kind of zoomed up on it).
Williamsburg is great. Busch Gardens, Colonial Williamsburg...it's a neat trip.
Yea really cool and memorable! We are having such a fabulous time and I love being able to share it!
My husband and I watched many videos on Williamsburg because we are planning to go this May (hopefully better weather than March when you were there.) and yours was by far our favorite. You have a natural gift for photography and I learned more from you then the ten other videos we watched. I appreciate your honesty about where you were struggling in your trip and how to enjoy it better. I imagine I would have those same thoughts. Thank you! We are new fans of your videos and look forward to watching more of them in the future. ❤😊
Claudia, I truly appreciate this comment, it means so much!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I hope your weather is better in may too, and it’s nice and warm!
Just finished watching and really enjoyed it! Our family loves Williamsburg. I just love the peace and tranquility… the path from
The visitors center to historical Williamsburg is especially nice at night! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Hi Jackie and Sam!
This was absolutely wonderful ❤️
Thank you for taking us along!
Cool, welcome to SE Virginia! Williamsburg, Yorktown, and surrounding Tidewater area are rich in history and things to do. Glad you got a chance to visit.
This reminds me of Philadelphia SO much. My grandparents took me to Betsy Ross’ home and a pub George Washington ate, Independence Hall and all the cobblestone streets ❤️totally brought back memories of that.
Totally reminds me of Philadelphia too!
Just told Jackie about the Battle of Trenton when George Washington crossed the Delaware River on Christmas Day 1777 to surprise the Hessian Troops in Trenton, and about the Old Barracks which is near the New Jersey State House in Trenton.
Jackie and Sam, hope you visit Philly soon! I live outside of Philly but would love to see you explore the area!
So glad you had a nice trip! Thanks for bringing us along! 😊
Watching you walk around Colonial Williamsburg bring back memories of school trips for me. Sorry you can when a Cold snap rolled in . Safe Travels on ur road trip. … Yes We will be going to Williamsburg this year after seeing y’all’s adventure there.🤙🤙
Love the big bibs! Prime rib looked yummy. You two should get a medal for braving that cold wind to show us that lovely town! Thank you!
For our 25th anniversary, my husband and I went to Colonial Williamsburg during the Christmas season. We stayed in the Brickhouse Tavern, one of the restored buildings on Duke of Gloucester Street. At Christmastime in the late 1700's they did not put up trees, but they did put naturally decorated wreath's on their doors. All the buildings had beautiful wreath's on the doors including the Brickhouse Tavern where we were staying. Every time we opened the door to go out, someone was taking a picture of the door. We were in a lot of people's vacation photos! Thank you for the trip down memory lane or Duke of Gloucester Street I should say!
We first visited Williamsburg in 1969 on our honeymoon and have been going back ever since. Always something new to see and learn.
Thanks for taking us along on your road trip. It looks like you both are having a ball. Must have been interesting being a British\American couple at Williamsburg. Still enthused here in East Tennessee...
The hour after dawn and just before dusk is called magic hour because of the awesome lighting. One of my best Colonial Williamsburg memories is walking through near dusk at the end of an extremely hot day, just after a cold rain came through. Heat from the grounds created a mist that brought out an effervescence from the unique colonial era plants and flowers. It was a truly a magic moment. And as much as I appreciate the magic that WDW brings, stepping back in time in a place like Colonial Williamsburg brings IMHO an even more special feeling of wonder. Great video and great road trip so far. Kind of funny that Sam wore his short pants on such a cool windy day :)
Totally, I love golden hour and it was extra special there! And I agree w u!
Yay!! I always wanted to see what it was like there. The reenactors all have to know so much history! Thank you very much for taking us along!!!
Amazing, living the Felicity Merriman dream 💕
I just love watching the two of you explain the world. You two are so cute together and fun. So enjoyable to watch. That Prime rib looks so delicious it made my mouth water. Looking forward to all of your traveling videos. Not to mention you all your other ones. Love you guys
When we lived in DC we enjoyed visiting Colonial Williamsburg. I remember while living in England ,
While visiting Sulgrave Manor , hearing some of the same things like Where the saying “Sleep Tight “
Originated . Thank you so much for sharing this. Have a blessed weekend.❤️
This road trip is awesome Jackie most of us will probably never get the chance to do a road trip like this so THANKS to you and Sam for allowing us to come and experience this with you hopefully the rest of your trip is warmer and enjoy everything you get to see on the rest of your trip
How did I not know this place existed! So cool!
My wife and I have been going to Disneyworld and Williamsburg for years and we have loved both. Williamsburg needs to be promoted, it’s where America started.
Back when we lived in Manassas, Virginia around 1985 Disney wanted to buy property near the Manassas Battlefield and develop it into an all-American attraction. There was so much pushback from conservationists afraid that the battlefield would be ruined so they gave up on the idea.
I sang a concert at the small church there when I was young. Great acoustics
Way too hot in Williamsburg, VA, in the summer. The best time to visit is spring and fall. Sorry you got a cold and windy day. Another good time to visit is the Grand Illumination, which used to be the first Sunday evening of December, but that changed with Covid. Hot cider and fireworks everywhere; the best place is at the old capital building.
I’ve lived in Williamsburg my entire life. Did this stuff for school field trips when I was younger, and now I completely forget this part of my city exists most of the time. It’s kind of trippy (and cool) to see people appreciating the stuff I take for granted.
Awesome that you visited the BURG. Work in WBurg and it's cool to see someone vlog BG and Colonial...King Arms Tavern is one of our fav places
This place is so fun!!! I went here as a kid so many times
Watching this road trip has been educational and fun.
I've always wanted to go here so ty for taking me with you. I love American history 😊 We need to hear more of your singing! You have a beautiful voice 💗
Cool destinations you are showing us. You guys are the best!
Years ago when you ate st the Kings Arms Tavern, they had cloth napkins that were a yard square.
Loved seeing Colonial Williamsburg again. Thank you! We’ve visited many times through the years. My daughter asked to go when she was 12 years old after learning about Williamsburg in school. Most people don’t realize it’s a real resort destination as well as educational. Recommend summer and Christmas when there are so many things going on you could spend several days.
I LOVE Williamsburg. Definitely go during one of their busier seasons, later spring/summer as there’s a ton more to do there. I’d recommend the museum’s and if you have time, Jamestown is REALLY neat too. ☺️
I definitely want to go back maybe for Christmas or summer, but I still loved it, it's so beautiful!!! Loved this whole road trip and seeing so many different places, what's crazy is it's almost time for our 2023 road trips to kick off!! I can't believe it!!
Amazing vlog Jackie! So much history there. Thanks for showing this.
I love all the clips in review at the end, with the soft music 🎶 a beautiful ending to a great video. 👍❤ watched in full.
Thank you for a nice tour. I have been there many times, we loved it, so much to do.
Super cool. I have never been there, it looks so interesting & informational. You get to visit a lot of cool places & I enjoy watching it.
❤️❤️❤️
What an interesting place to visit.
This is the best video I have seen! I’m so excited to join my son’s school field trip here. We are spending the weekend since it’s my birthday and Mother’s Day weekend.
Yey! Loving videos of your trip to the commonwealth of VA! Super happy you all got to the Cheeseshop and Kings Arm. Both are must visits when we hit up Colonial Williamsburg! Next trip, I highly recommend a ghost tour. They aren’t super scary, but fun and informative!
So refreshing to see some of our favorite FL RUclipsrs enjoying Virginia! Between the Williamsburg/Newport News/VA Beach area, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and museums in the Northern Virginia/DC area, there is a lot to do. We hope you have enjoyed your stay! The videos look it.
These trips are the best. You can go at your own pace. It's the kind of information I am using to plan my summer time mini trips and get aways. Thank you and keep having fun. 🎉🌞🎶
PS. Best part of road trips...🎤 carpool karaoke, lol. 😘🎶🎶🎶
Yesss hahaha!! Singing in the car is the best!
I love Colonial Williamsburg! Your videos are wonderful! We may go back there this summer for a visit, when it's less windy and cool!
Excellent video really interesting thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you, Paul!
@@SuperEnthused your very welcome my pleasure
I havened been here in over 20 years you did a great job covering the place. Looks like you had a lot of fun.
I’am very interested in American History. I love the Colonial times and the civil wartimes. Thanks for this wonderful trip and the vlogs you sharing with us.
Glad you decided to come to Williamsburg my home town!
Your singing was awesome hahaha and sam sing for me 🤣 loved it and loving seeing you both together
So glad to hear the King's Arms Tavern is back open! It's definitely the best restaurant in CW! You'll have to go back on a weekend night when they do full 18th century style plays in the big theater!
This is absolutely beautiful, definitely a must do! What an amazing time in history ! Thanks for taking us along !❤️
So nice to see your adventures outside. Of the theme parks thanks for taking us along with you.
Williamsburg is wonderful! I have been there twice and would love to make the trek from Texas again. Glad you two are having such a great time.
