Colonial Williamsburg. Historic and intriguing. There are settlement recreations, archaelogical digs, and preservation efforts in a concentrated area. Go during the fall or spring, summer can be miserable between the humidity and the mosquitos.

Not much shopping, clubs or entertainment. bring bug spray in the summer, fairly nice weather, can get pretty hot and humid. Cool outdoor historical musuem. Jamestown and CW.

Favorite places to eat (views of a WM student):
for sandwiches, Paul's Deli on Richmond.
for quick runs, Wawa's.
for coffee and pastries, Aroma's Cafe on Prince George.
for cheese and specialty items, The Cheese Shop on Merchant's Square.
for a special night out, one of the taverns in the colonial section.
for desert, The Trellis.

Plan on hot and humid in the summer. Very hot and humid. Bring an umbrella in you're visiting between October and March - it rains almost nonstop. The biggest differences between fall, winter, and spring are the temperatures with the rain. Still, a very pretty area, in the scenic, colonial, brick-and-ivy way.

Colonial Williamsburg is a wonderful experience. They have everything olden times from taverns, to silversmiths, to courthouse, to superb shops and such. A for sure enjoyment from ages 1 to 100! So if you go to Williamsburg make sure you go to Colonial Williamsburg.

Colonial Williamsburg has an awesome reenactment of the colonial time period. I felt like I was actually there! If you are a history buff, this is the place for you.

Colonial Williamsburg is a real gem. Give yourself enough time (1/2 day is not enough) to soak in all the sights and sounds. The historical interpreters are very interesting -- visit the wig shop, the tailor, the weaver, etc. and you'll learn a lot about colonial life in America.

Kings Dominion is a blast.

Attractions Busch Gardens: Europe Great park with a visually stunning experience in both eating, shopping, and their many theme park rides... I recommend bringing a rain poncho for it does have a couple of water rides, and even though they offer poncho's they are a bit expensive.

Water Country USA A very large waterpark with many water ride attractions, a bit of shopping, and a bit of an In-Dining experience. For some of the rides the lines where pretty long but moved pretty quickly. You will need a bathing suit if you plan on going on the rides which is pretty much the only reason for going ;]. It does have a couple "Kiddie Pools" and is a great park for a water-oriented family fun experience! Click Here for more information on Dining, Special Offers, Attractions, and more on the park...
