Mini Vacation Colonial Williamsburg

Not far from the beach is Williamsburg. We love Williamsburg, it's such a great town. We both have siblings that have lived/live there so are lucky to have an inside connection to the town. There is a lot to do besides the Colonial stuff too and we didn't get to a lot of the stuff we wanted to do. We can't wait to go back and spend more time there. I know that my sibling who moved away misses this place very much and they try and go back whenever they can.

Eating at the bread and cheese store in colonial Williamsburg, apparently this is the place, it was packed. They are famous for their bread ends and cheese dip (which I learned has no cheese and is mayo based)

We let Kate pick out a piece of candy from the candy store in colonial willamsburg, she picked this lollipop and ate the whole thing before we even left

The toy store, filled with cute stuff we made it out of there alive and without breaking the bank

We spent and evening at the Yankee Candle Store, sounds random but it's an awesome place, it's one huge store divided up into small sections that you can browse through, they have fun things to do like candle dipping, they have an awesome Christmas display and we even ran into Santa there, he was wearing his red and while Jimmy Buffet shirt. Kate asked him about his reindeer and Santa said they were in the parking lot and Kate said she didn't see them so Santa said they sometimes go to the pool if it gets too hot. As soon as I pulled my camera out Kate ran off and that was the end of it. I wished I would've snapped just one shot.

Lots of fun Christmas things to look at, makes me excited about Christmas

This hot dog restaurant came recommended to us by Troy and Katie, it was really good, it's a bit of the a hole in the wall but it was pretty busy and Kate got to take a picture next to the hot dog man
We also spent one day at Busch Gardens. It was a hot day so the girls were glad they had a chance to cool off in the water garden. This was actually Kate's favorite thing at busch gardens and she could've spent all day here.


She did manage to ride a few rides, but she isn't quite ready for the thrill of the big coasters. She had such a great time and was definitely ready to go by the end of the day.



Kate spotted this bear from far away, she demanded that we take pictures in front of this bear.
