We have made reservations for Colonial Williamsburg as part of our week and a half vacation coming up. We will be there from July 2-5. The vacation package we chose was the Revolutionary City Adventure. We thought it would be fun to be in Philadelphia, PA on the 4th of July, but the places we wanted to stay were booked up. No big deal, though. It will be fun to see what happens in the reenactments at Williamsburg. Since Eve is 4 she doesn't have to have a ticket for anything here, which is nice. There is a costume rental for period era clothes. Depending on the cost Michael was considering renting outfits for the kids one of the days.
We are used to camping when we go on vacation, so staying at hotels cuts deeply into the vacation budget. Michael was checking hotels and motels around Niagara Falls for that leg of the adventure, and when he looked at the most recent comment about the hotel he found it said the place was in a bad neighborhood next to a crack house. NICE.....! NOT! I'll be checking more places for that later.

Sounds like a fun holiday you are planning. I've been to Niagara falls twice now on different holidays. But have no recommendations as I stayed with friends nearby! LOL Great memories.
OMG! my old stompin grounds! i grew up in hampton roads... that is the "southside" of VA. williamsburg in on the peninsula. they have an outlet mall there AND BUSCH GARDENS! i highly recommend stopping by and checking this theme park out! there are different country themes, like italy, germany, and... umm... france? it's been so long... they have an interesting beer tour as it is "Busch" gardens. i remember not liking the smell of barley and rice or whatever they put in there... so glad i don't drink!
ok anyway... williamsburg! you will love it there! EVERYONE exists (the only accurate word i can think of) in the colonial times! there are kids dressed in full costume and ONLY play/do things that are appropriate to that era. the women churn butter, the men wear wigs and high heels, and i believe there are a couple of folks who do the native american thing... if you are history buffs then you gotta check out williamsburg! sorry for the long post! can't wait to see your pics/layouts!
