December, 1995
Colonial Williamsburg Williamsburg, VA
We didn't take pictures for some strange reason, but the photos below are postcards I bought there. We went there when we first arrived in Virginia. While in a small hotel room for 6 weeks while looking at houses to buy, we spent Christmas there and so we took our first excursion to Williamsburg. We bought a "Patriot Pass" and I remember it was EXTREMELY expensive like a couple hundred dollars for the family. But you could return as many times as you liked in a year. Check the website for various options on ticket prices and when the town is open. What Colonial Williamsburg is, is an entire town and all the buildings are authentic and the people dress up in costume and live like they would have back in the Colonial Era. The do things like blacksmithing etc and talk like they would have during that era. Williamsburg is a nice area. Clean and very charming. Restrooms and nearby shops and restaurants available as well as the famed college of William and Mary. There is also a nice gift shop and between William and Mary and Colonial Williamsburg (hooked together; walking distance) there is a upscale shopping area.
