This was a fun outing! My wife and I enjoyed walking throughout Colonial Williamsburg in a day - that's all it took. The live actors provide a great insight into the history of their craft and of the times in general. We parked at the Visitor Center, took the bus to the first spot (the Governor's Palace), and took it back on the other side of Colonial Williamsburg after touring the final stop, the Colonial Capitol building. I initially thought this would take the two-day ticket period. but it can all be done in a day. Some sites were not open (we went on Wednesday), but there was enough open and enough to do to get your money's worth.

Love this place. I have been here several years ago, but my husband has never been there. We were passing through the area, so decided to stop for the day. We only had a day to spend there, so purchased the one day admission online for a slight discount. $31.50 pp. arrived at the visitor center at 9 am. (Now pay parking) If you aren’t familiar with the area, I would recommend talking to the information desk at the visitor center. They highlighted area of interest and gave some recommendations. Very helpful and friendly. Quickly got the bus down to colonial Williamsburg. Toured several houses and shoppes. Then got the bus to the museum. Wear good walking shoes and layers. I took a shoulder bag and was glad I did. Quick access to removing layers and an umbrella. The day flew by. Not all shoppes and buildings are open everyday, so if you have more time, get a multi day pass or even a yearly pass. We were there 9a-5:30p ( most buildings and shoppes close at 5) and didn’t see everything. Also, different seasons would be nice to see as well. We went early spring. Beautiful day, but not very green or flowers blooming yet. We didn’t eat at historical sites this time, but I have before. Make reservations weeks ahead of time. Also they can be somewhat pricey $$$. Check online menus. They try to accommodate everyone and still try to keep the restaurants authentically colonial .

I LOVE Williamsburg. I love that everytime I come I meet wonderful new people, and learn something new!! We unexpectedly ran into a wonderful woman whose name escapes me now :( but I’ll post a picture! She told us the most amazing story about the Underground Railroad and she sang some hymns that were messages. It was beautiful and she was just a wonderful person to meet!!! I can’t say enough about this museum, it’s absolutely amazing!! Our friend dressed up as a colonial person and we went to the kings arms tavern for dinner! Yummmy!!!
