Hi Tuggers!
Well, we are off to Williamsburg again! Loved our trip last time. We used so many of your suggestions and had a great time. We did the tour of the battlefield, went to Yorktown, Fort Monroe, spent time in Williamsburg and ate at great places. It is a traffic nightmare getting there from NY, but the history and sights can't be beat. Would love it if you have any updates to add. Williamsburg has so many interesting spots. Any recommendations appreciated!!!
We love touring the historic homes and properties around Williamsburg, and these are reasonable drives and well worth it:
Monticello in Charlottesville VA (2 hours), Berkeley Plantation (45 min), Shirley Plantation (45 min).
Monticello is so great that we've returned several times.
We also like dining in the various Colonial Williamsburg Taverns....the food is good, can be on the expensive side, but getting the feeling "for the times"
is wonderful. Christiana Campbell's is best, followed by King's Arms Tavern. There are a couple more.
Other regular restaurants outside Colonial Wmsbg that are GREAT: Cochon, Fat Canary, Opus 9, 2nd Street American Bistro.
