[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drove to Williamsburg and stayed at one of the "resorts" around that area that offer a few amenities. Got the springtime pass for Colonial Williamsburg / Busch Gardens for ~$125 per person that allows unlimited visits to either place for a week. Bounced back and forth between attractions, swam in a pool, played mini golf.  Very cheap and really low key.  We could do as much or as little as we wanted and had a short trip home.   [/quote]

We do almost the exact same thing at least once a year, sometimes for winter break and sometimes in the spring, and it’s just such an easy place to do as little or as much as you want. You can rent a timeshare condo through the hotel booking sites at a good rate and that gets you amenities like pools and miniature golf on site. As my kids get older, I keep expecting them to outgrow it, but if anything they find more to enjoy.[/quote]

Can you and the other poster say more about what your family enjoys doing in Williamsburg? People keep suggesting it for an easy trip, but I don’t see the appeal yet. I don’t have fantastic memories of Colonial Williamsburg as a kid (as in, I didn’t love it), which is probably coloring my view.[/quote]

Like the other PP, we stayed at one of those timeshare resort condos that we booked for cheap on Airbnb. The resort had a pool, arcade room, mini golf, and planned activities (e.g. the kids went off and did tie dye while we were in the bar). We did two partial days at Colonial Williamsburg. We just did a little each day and then spent the rest of the day visiting shops in Williamsburg or hanging at the resort. We did two days at Busch Gardens and stayed 5-6 hours each day. Went on a ghost tour one night.

Maybe my kids are easily impressed, but it’s what they want to do for every vacation (they’re 7 & 9). Makes me wonder why we spend so much to go to fancy places instead of an easy local spot. [/quote]
