[quote=Anonymous]Hello. I'm a Williamsburg survivor. Our parents dragged us there for four days when I was seven years old. I still have mental scars from the experience.

It was torture. A slow death by boredom and heat exhaustion. Me and my brother hated every minute of it.

Costumes? It's too damned hot in the summer to wear a period costume! Even the stupid colonial hats are too hot.

I'm sorry, but "colonial history" is not enough to keep a child's interest alive for more than one afternoon. Since I had parents who demanded strict discipline from their children, I had to keep my complaints and boredom to myself the entire trip. And to this day, I resent our family vacation to Williamsburg, because it's clearly a slow-paced, low-impact trip for adults that children will never or can never appreciate.

Ever see "Pee Wee's Big Adventure"? The "Ahh-Dough-Bay" scene at "The Alamo"? That's Colonial Williamsburg to a child.

The last day of our vacation to Williamsburg was spent at Busch Gardens, back when the park was still owned by the beer brewery. Upon arriving at the park, our parents immediately got too drunk on free beer samples, and combined with the sweltering heat, they were unable to accompany us on any rides (both parents vomited when they tried). And we were too young to ride alone on most of the attractions. So the one "kids' day" of the trip was spent seeing stupid song and dance performances, and the visit to the amusement park turned out to be even more boring than the days wasted with 'ye olde costumed colonial dweebs.[/quote]
