[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, kind of amazed at the anti Williamsburg bent. Maybe it depends on your traveling style. We always try to have a historical or cultural bent to travel. Sometimes it's short (eg, the Prado in Madrid was not a kid favorite), usually accompanied by something else fun ( eg, trip to the beach after Plimoth Plantation). My kids like Williamsburg but maybe we've just made them into history nerds. One of them has already taken 4 AP history classes in HS.

Same reaction here.  We went to that area two years ago for spring break with two boys, 13 and 10yo.  We visited Colonial Williamsburg one day, but didn't buy tickets or anything - we just walked around and took in the sights, had some ice cream, etc.  The next day we visited Jamestown, which was terrific/very interesting (and the kids liked it too).  We also visited Yorktown, which was ~meh~ IMO, and I can't recall if we did that the same day or a different day.

In any case, we concluded the trip with a day at Busch Gardens (as "dessert", LOL), and had a great time there.  I snuck in some outlet-shopping that evening.

So in sum, I think that area makes for a very fun, good spring break trip for a family with boys.[/quote]
