Thanks for taking us along. Take time to enjoy the trip for you two. Safe travels. God bless!
It is such a blessing you all can travel like that. Oh my what a blessing.
Visited 1966, our 6th grade summer vacation. Remember touring every building. Period dressed people everywhere. Enjoyed very much. Later, in 1984 took 4 yr old daughter to Virginia Beach. I returned with her and 4 of her friends when they were 15. They roller bladed from one end of boardwalk to other. Really good place to take the kids. Ready to go back as a retiree.
Thank you for sharing your memories Jane
To visit Colonial Williamsburg for the first time you should have spent a couple days and purchased a pass to tour the buildings. Start at the Visitors Center. It’s a wonderful place that you needed more time to do justice. I’ve been there many times as I lived close for quite a few years. You’ll have to go back again as you only scratched the surface.
Agreed
I agree
Most Definitely Agree.
That was so relaxing. A d sooo much fun .
I love Colonial Williamsburg. We went there for our honeymoon and have been there several times since. It is a shame you didn't have time to go into the buildings, they are beautiful inside. I did want to point out that the buildings in Merchant's Square are not that old. They were built 30-40 years ago to blend in with the end of the Duke of Gloucester St. But there are so great shops there.
that was fun, you did a good job riding the bull Dawn and that's a cool historic town thanks for sharing, really nice that the hotel has every room on the beach front
Hi Joy
@@smokymountainman4964 hi SMM
Yes! lol
I loved seeing Dawn ride the bull as well. It made me laugh and put a smile on my face.
Looked like a great time thanks for taking us along
THANK YOU FOR A REALLY NICE VIDEO. DAWN - high 5 to you for riding the mechanical video! ❤
You must go back when the shops are open!! The history is amazing!! Been there twice. You can see actual crafts beginning made and eat in taverns. The church is amazing. You can sit in pew that George Washington sat in on Sunday!!! You can go to a witch trial! Soo amazing.
Wow 😳 I've been to Williamsburg so many times they used to have alot of people in costume ..it really is worth going on the tour..when you have time..my favorite Colonial structure is Thomas Jefferson's home.. Monticello in Charlottesville..that's just down the road from me..also love Virginia Beach ⛱️..great places to eat and at Christmas you can drive on the boardwalk..and they show moving Christmas lights..very whimsical and beautiful..anyway enjoy your time in Virginia..I ❤️ this State !!!!!
Thank you 😊 Sherry
Nice area! I don’t think I would get on that mechanical bull! Thanks for sharing and be safe!
Thank you 😊 Shannon
Williamsburg is such a wonderful place. The next time that you go there you need to get the pass. It is well worth it. You can go in all the historical buildings and take part in a of the living history presentations. The buildings inside are incredible and the demonstrations are very interesting. You also have to eat in a colonial tavern. We have done that 3 times. It is a reay neat experience. We have been to Williamsburg several times and there are still things we have not seen. I have never been to Virginia Beach but it looks like a beautiful place. You motel room on the ocean was very nice. I loved watching Dawn ride the bull. Thst was very funny. Enjoy your road trip.
Thank you 😊 Smokey Mountain Man
thanks, for showing us. wish you could have stayed longer. really enjoyed it.
You will have to come back and see stuff, it is amazing!! The food is great!!!
They have restored them, painted them to look presentable to the tourists, but there is still history in these buildings. I am glad you two enjoy your visit!
My husband and I used to live in Williamsburg, and your video has made me very homesick! Lol! Thank you for sharing your adventures of one of my favorite places ❤️.
Thank you for watching
That was such a beautiful town. Thank you for sharing
😚
You were in my area the same time I was visiting Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. I live in Chesapeake which is located between Williamsburg and VB. Williamsburg is my favorite day trip.
Thanks for taking us along. I love to see different places but we can’t travel much right now. Gas so costly and food is too. So I love going along with you here. Thanks so much, Will and Dawn 😊🐻
Christmas time is nice too. Make sure you get to Jamestown, historic town of Smithfield, peanuts and ham!!
beautiful , and I took note of the music you added. awesome.
Thank you 😊 Annie
I used to live in Virginia Beach ⛱ myself ( with family 👪 of course) Have fun on ya'lls adventures...
Y'all were right in my back yard! Im in Yorktown VA! 😊😊
I love Cornelius Williamsburg in there many many times. Shame that you didn’t go into the houses for the tour. You should go back to Christmas time and see it all decorated. It’s gorgeous.
Ohhhh the mechanical bull. Dawn your a hoot 💜
Thanks Tam 😊
Love it! History is so astounding! Be safe ! And Enjoy 😉
Hey kids! Next time you go to Colonial Williamsburg,stay in a Historic Home right in the middle of the village. It’s a wonderful experience. Visit the historic triangle of Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. I used to live in Yorktown. We now live in California, before covid we would visit the historic triangle and always stay in a Historic Home. Love to eat in a different tavern each evening. Take your time and enjoy!
Thank you 😊 Diana
Thank you for sharing and the appreciation
Love all that history…. Beautiful little town! Thank You for taking us along!
I enjoy going to Colonial Williamsburg, I really enjoy watching some of the demonstrations where they print on the old manual printing press, make bricks, etc. I did the ghost walk and got to be a juror during a witch trial, don't forget the museum . If you get the chance,you need to go on the 4th of July for the fireworks show. You should also do the Historic triangle which Yorktown and Jamestown.
Thank you for the suggestions 😊 Ken
👍
You missed a chance to see some mind blowing stuff. I spent hours in the gunsmith shop, was fascinated by them taking a flat piece of forged metal, and eventually turning it into a rifle...at by hand.
The Blacksmith was also top notch.
I’ve not dined there in decades, so can’t speak to the food.
It’s definitely an all day experience plus, for history buffs. Nice part is it’s included in the historic triangle of Yorktown and Jamestown.
The haunted ghost tour is a spectacular opportunity as well.
Love, Love Williamsburg. Growing up in Virginia, my dad felt his children needed to know and experience everything about the history of Virginia. Last June for our Anniversary, Ron I stayed in the old town at the Fife and Drum Inn. Very unique and wonderful place. The only downfall is, there was not a elevator and being that Ron was just getting his strength back from his brain surgery the steps to our room was a little steep but we enjoyed everything else about the Inn. Enjoy our beautiful state of Virginia! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your memories Ron and Connie . We can relate with you on the hotel experience with no elevator 😊 The hotel we were in had no elevator last night
It is so beautiful there
Thanks for the overview of Williamsburg. I lived there for two years...a very special place to me.
We loved watching you tour in our backyard. We watched a ton of your videos preparing for our Smokey Mountain vacation 2 years ago and last year on the NC side. My son thought it was so cool to see you in areas we go all the time. It sure was a hot weekend.
Thank you so much Veronica
This is so cool. Love this. Dawn you are so brave riding that mechanical bull. You go girl. 💕
Thank you 😊 Sandy
I will definitely have to put that place on my list to check out. What great history and beautiful buildings. Thank you so much for a fantastic video! Always looking forward to your videos! 😁
Thank you 😊 Tanya
Virginia Beach is our beach of choice. We love it there. Thanks for another great video!

Thank you for taking us along. I’d love to see it some day.
Looks a beautiful place

This looks like a fun trip. I wish you could have pointed out the Naval base which houses the east coast Navy Seals. Have a safe trip
This is right up my alley. I absolutely love History and my Mother and I want to visit Colonial Williamsburg. She went once before I was born during the early seventies but she wanted me to see it for myself. This video really helps me a lot to know what I will see 🙂💖
Great job on the room at Virginia Beach!!!!! Ocean front!! I'd leave my window open so I could hear the ocean all night!!!!! Agggggg!!!!! Dawn on the bull!! Brave girl!!!!! Love it!!
Really enjoyed your video of your visit to Colonial Williamsburg and Virginia Beach. I have been subscribed to your blog for years now. I admire how much your photography and narrative have improved Will. You and Dawn are a delight...thank you. My husband Jim, and I enjoy traveling along with you. Safe journey!
Thank you 😊 Sondra

Thank you 😊 Liz
Great video! Showed Mom your video, she is 68 she was at Williamsburg and Virginia Beach when she was 28 and loved it, also she went to James Town, I have to get there in the next few yrs. Thanks for sharing!👍❤️
love the old history, and you can't beat the price on the hotel on the beach, love the ocean!
Got a kick out of Dawn riding the Bull, look like fun 😄
What a great job riding the bull Dawn! The hotel was a great find and enjoyed this vlog so much.
Thank you 😊 Deatra Happy PA Girl
Colonial Williamsburg is so awesome. Only 88 of the buildings are original. The governors palace and the capital building are reconstructions. But overall it is worth taking the tour of the buildings. One of my favorite places. Will and Dawn you should definitely come back and tour the buildings. And have a meal at one of the taverns.
Beautiful place thanks for sharing
Virginia Beach is one of my favourite places! Since Dawn loves biking so much, you guys should try renting a tandem bicycle and cruise the boardwalk. It’s so much fun!
Thank you for sharing 😀 Trina
I'd love to see Colonial Williamsburg in person someday. If only the walls could speak the history. I've always wanted to go to Viginia Beack also. I'm happy you're having a great time!! Looks like I get to live a lot of bucket list things thru you two. Thank you much!!!
Always wanted to go Colonial Williamsburg!!Looks like beautiful weather too.I didn’t realize it is as big as it is. Love all of the buildings and gardens! The oak tree is gorgeous..it’s amazing to think the founders of our country walked those streets…well Dawn, i would have turned the rock over too, lol..gotta give you credit girl on riding the bull, you go girl👍🏻Thanks for another great journey. Looking forward to the next stop.😀
Thank you Sandra
Yes I agree Sandra LOL
Love the area . Come back at Christmas time! My daughter moved to Dinwiddie Va - which is 40 Miles south of Richmond. Her engagement pictures were taken in Virginia Beach. Lots of civil war history in Richmond
Wow Will and Dawn you did a beautiful job on showing all the old buildings this is fun I’ll watch the whole series. Thank you and be safe Debbie Nebraska

@@yankeeinthesouth you're very welcome 😁
I don’t know if y’all are still gonna be at colonial Williamsburg today (Saturday may 21), but they’re doing their annual drum and fife grand march. Supposed to be fife and drum groups from all over the country there!
Liked the ocean view so beautiful! Dawn you did good on the mechanical bull we were surprised you rode on it. Will we would of liked you on it. Have fun on your travels and be safe.
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊 Roy and Maria
You guys should get on the Blue Ridge Parkway and stay at the Peaks of Otter. It is a real throw back. The only accommodation on the parkway.
Williamsburg is so pretty. Years ago my Aunt taught there before you had to pay to go into the buildings. It was really nice then. The beach is beautiful. Have fun and be safe
Thank you 😊 Claudia
hope you get ths chance to go back and do the tour and eat at one of the taverns i love Williamsburg enjoy your trip
Colonial Williamsburg looks beautiful and very interesting and beaches have always been a favorite for me. Good job Dawn on the mechanical bull I would of fell off soon as I got on. 💕
Thank you 😊 Cathy
You need to pop into York Town and Charles county plantations
I loved this video!
I live in Virginia Beach and we go up to Williamsburg every now and then, especially in autumn and the week after Thanksgiving. Early December is a lovely time to visit Williamsburg as they have fewer crowds and they use beautiful natural decorations on the homes for the Christmas season.
Loved Dawn's photo op with the VW bus and her attempt at the mechanical bull ⭐🐂
Cheers and safe travels
Thank you 😊 Kennedy Cheers
We were there for our 25th anniversary. We ate at the Kings Arms Tavern where food was prepared using recipes and spices from the colonial period. This is a great place to visit. It is worth a return visit when you have more time.
That was fun thanks guys!
I wouldn’t be brave enough to ride a bull. Good job dawn.
Thank you 😊 Ashley
I love Colonial Willamsburg. To walk in the same steps as Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. I love history.
I didn't realize Williamsburg was so big! It definitely looks like a neat place to visit! And showing us Virginia Beach got me in the beach mode! Lol. I'm going to Holden Beach in NC in a couple of weeks with my family. No mechanical bull there though 😂 Good job on that thing, Dawn!
Thank you 😊 JQ
Yeah Williamsburg!
You guys should go to the Waltons mountain museum. It's not all that far. It's in Skyler VA.
I have been there too bb bb
Thanks for letting us know the temperature 90 is a heat wave in Canada. Another awesome video.
We are watching this video right now. Have you ever heard of the Angel Oak Tree in Charleston, SC? You need to look it up online or on RUclips and go visit it one day. It's so awesome! So huge and beautiful and old. We made a detour a few years ago on our way to Edisto Beach and it was so worth it. :)
Beautiful footage as always 😊 Way to go Dawn! 🐃😄
Thank you 😊 Barb
I love Colonial Williamsburg. So glad yall went. Virginia Beach was always a nice getaway too

Looks great. How much is it to enter Williamsburg?
Love,love,love this video. We have never been too Williamsburg's but will definitely be going. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Will! Dawn! Where did you guys get that cooler? My son needs daily medication that needs to be refrigerated and it's stressful figuring out how to pack that for camping, roadtrips etc. Anyway, loved Williamsburg when I visited years ago! So much history! Also went to Monticello (which was so neat!!). My sister and BIL were stationed in Norfolk and lived in Virginia Beach, so I visited out there often. So many cool things to do! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!!
We bought the cooler from Amazon
