    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 !!!!!

    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.

    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!

    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.

  • @aomalle
    @aomalle 2 года назад +2

    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! ❤️

    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.

    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!!
