We enjoyed many of the sights and sounds of the area, with the exception of some late night disturbances. I thought I'd share some of our favorite spots and activities*. It's a place I'm sure your family will love.
Some of our favorite "eats":
Aromas-I adore this café. Their food is always tasty and their coffee...YUM! My personal favorite is their Aromaccino.
Stephanos-I insist on stopping by this local pizzeria whenever we're in town. If you go for nothing else, go for the Cheesy Garlic Bread. I of course recommend their pizza, and quite frankly, all of their food is delicious.
Duck Donuts-Heavenly. I don't know how else to describe these donuts!!! They were recommended to me by a friend and wow. We were not disappointed. We enjoyed them so much we visited twice on during our 4 day trip (and of course we brought some home). This was a definite calorie splurge and while there are only a few things worth 20 miles on a treadmill, these fit the bill.
Extraordinary Cupcakes-We always seek out cupcakes in the areas we visit. We're repeat visitors to this local cupcake shop. Yum!
Some of our favorite spots:
Family friendly activities are really important to us. We had plans to go to the local water park but with G being so little, we couldn't justify the cost. We opted for some alternatives.
Mid-County Park-This park was a blast. We visited a few years ago with friends and it has since been torn down and redone. To their credit, the park is wonderful! There are two play areas to accommodate all ages. The older section even sports a zip-line! G loved the swings and the slide.
Virginia Living Museum-You can read my re-cap here. This was a great place to take our little one. There was fun for all ages.
Local Antique Shops-My husband and I love antiquing. We found several good finds and got a jump start on Christmas.
Christmas Mouse-My hubby and I purchase an ornament to commemorate all of our family trips. When in Williamsburg we always stop by the Christmas Mouse. There are oodles of ornaments to choose from. There is truly something for every occasion.
Williamsburg Premium Outlets-While I'm not a major shopper, I enjoy strolling around and browsing. My husband is a jewel and always makes the best of it. I think he secretly enjoys it.
We look forward to going again in the future. The older G gets the better it will be.
Do you have any family favorite vacation spots?
*I was not compensated in anyway to promote these establishments.
I'm glad you had a fun trip! We love Aromas (green mint mocha) and Kidsburg!! You also need to check out the pizza at Sal's! Aww I remember the Virginia Living Museum - annual school field trip destination for sure! My parents used to take us there a lot, but there was a shark. Is he still there?
ReplyDeleteYes, he's still there...and huge! G saw it when we first walked in and her eyes got big as pointed to it. We really did enjoy our trip. Thanks for the recommendations.
