Colonial Williamsburg

We got a lovely day to explore the reenactments at colonial Williamsburg.  We have two young kids with us so we got a 7 day unlimited Busch gardens/colonial Williamsburg pass.  Pricey, but probably the only viable option with the kids.  We walked from the visitor center, explored a maze in the gardens, and then started exploring the reconstructed community.

If you’re coming here and have mobility issues, be aware that a historic village is not very disability friendly.  There are mobility scooters for rent, but you will still need to get out and climb some stairs to see the reenactors or to get food and drink. 

We had a great time but the kids were tired and hungry.  We stopped at the Kings inn tavern for lunch,and we were entertained by musicians and ate a delicious meal.  Do ask for the kids meal if you’re with kids. 

Then we caught the shuttle back to the visitor center and went back to our apartment to relax.

I love to travel, do arts and crafts and photography. But most of all, I like to combine them all.
