[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like a good plan. There's plenty more to do if you don't want to do theme parks. Kidsburg at Veterans Park is nice. Waller Mill Park has pedal boats or canoes and nice trails. There's mini golf and Go-Karts Plus and Ripley's Believe it or Not. If you stay at one of the "resorts," there may be a game room or other activities on site. Haven't stayed in one for years so can't recommend one.

You could go to Newport News for the Virginia Living Museum and/or Mariner's Museum (only $1). I haven't taken my kids to Yorktown, but I'd stay around there all day if I did. There's the historical part but also a cute downtown. There's also a tiny "beach." Speaking of which, I'd might take a day trip to the beach instead of a theme park, depending on how much you like the beach  and whether you can get going early enough to avoid traffic.

Make sure you see the Fife and Drum Corps when in Williamsburg. There are also some animals in Colonial Williamsburg. Kids like to see those. There's ice cream in Merchants Square-- Baskin Robbins and Kilwins.[/quote]

Sorry, for context, Merchants Square is on the end of the colonial area. I meant that as a break from history (and walking). The ice cream is on Prince George Street, I guess it may technically be a block over from Merchants Square. However, there are other places to eat in Merchants Square, plus a candy shop.

Expect a lot of walking and lines![/quote]
