Williamsburg

The Williamsburg visitor's center is the starting point for exploring the old city. This is where you get your passes (we purchased annual passes as we plan to spend several days exploring.



After a day exploring, driving around, shopping, etc. We went for dinner at Seasons in Market Square.


Horseradish pork and crab cakes.

Duke of Gloucester Street

This is a neat twentieth century add-on development just west of the old town.

Bluegreen Patrick Henry Square - Day 1

This is a top quality resort. The actual check-in is done at the older building which is a hold-over from motel days. The new structure, which all owners stay in (and pictured here), is quite nice. The room is quite small (we have a two bedroom/studio type unit) with very little room in drawers for clothes. We took all the spare bedding out of the drawers and piled it on one of the sofas to make room. The kitchen facilities are the smallest of any of the BG properties we have used.

They do their best to cater to the guests, and have lots of information, etc. to share. There seems to be planned daily activities, especially for the kids.

We're here!

We're here - that's what the sign says, anyway. The week is off to a grand start - no cell service (notta, zilch, "no service") for anyone except Verizon. Now that's some sort of conspiracy, I'm sure. Coverage maps show great coverage for Sprint and AT&T, but obviously they are lying. So much for mobile blogging (at least from Williamsburg).

Did I say HOT!? I really feel sorry for those readers in climates that can only produce 80s or maybe 90s. Try over 100! Rained here this evening, so it may be cooler later. Now off to find the best restaurants...

Cumberland Maryland

Made it to Maryland for the night. Note to self: GPS didn't get the note about the bridge being out. Now, I appreciate the effort to find us a better route around the freeway construction, however the alternate route had an unlisted detour. There went the time savings. Tomorrow, with Genie's (GPS) help, we'll be in the historic triangle (Jamestown, Yorktown, and Williamstown). More tomorrow.

Well, we're off again...

to Williamsburg, VA. You may remember that we tried last year, but that wasn't to happen. Thursday we head out for Patrick Henry Square just east of the old part of town. Watch for our posts and photos as the days progress.

To the Top

Took the chair lift to the top of the mountain for the view and a soft drink. The lift decided to stop on it's own on the way down!
