Williamsburg Travel Blogs

Late September and time for a fall road trip. With Drew and Julia both at university, this was the first trip for just Susan and I in a long time. We decided to do a trip along the Eastern Shore--the parts of Virginia and Maryland on the far side of the Chesapeake Bay.  To get there, we first…

March 21 was opening day for the 2008 season at Busch Gardens Europe in Williamsburg. We were on our way from our Kingsgate hotel by 9:20 for the 10:00 a.m. opening. It's a short hop on U.S. 60 over to Busch Gardens. While waiting for entry into the parking area, we were amused to see many oth…

The current entrance to the museums is through the Public Hospital.  This brick building served as a mental institution for over 100 years.  An exhibit on the main level looks at how the treatment of the mentally ill evolved over those decades, how at first the patients were treated littl…

After George read a couple of Revolutionary War books this past year and visited Boston, I thought it was time to show him my state's colonial history. Coming from (supposedly) the most historic city in the US, that is Fredericksburg, Virginia), I thought it only natural that I was his best tour gu…

For everyone passing thru Virginia or visiting Virginia I recommend to see Colonial Williamsburg.  It is quite nostalgic and a great place to take the family for the day or a romantic date to the taverns in the evening.  This place is beautiful in the spring with the cherry blossoms,…

Much of the old town have been restored so you can walk around and see the old houses. It is free to walk around town but you need to pay if you want to go into the hous…

Back in 2005 a chance opened up for me to visit the east coast of the United States, including the nation's capitol. I gladly accepted.

Hi All, Dave and I wanted to have you share in our trip this year as we travel. As I am new to this I have a feeling that there will be a learning curve. Will try to have some timely updates and photos. WELL, so much for timely updates. LOL We don't seem to be in WI FI world as much as I would like. Hang in there, I will keep adding at least where we have been. Enjoy with us!

This morning was great. The storms finally left town, and the sun was shining along the coast, so it was high time for the Grey Ghost and Super Dave to move on in search of new storms. After a walk on the beach, we headed south towards Virginia via the bridge tunnel across the Chesapeake bay. The G…

After a restful night we rose bright and early and decided to visit Jamestown before returning to Yorktown.    We arrive at the gates to Historic Jamestown a few minutes before 8am and begin reading the tourist brochure we picked up at the hotel.  When we got to write up on Jame…
