Cool place so full of History

Loved Williamsburg. It is so fun and interesting to wander through colonial Williamsburg and see how they lived, worked and their traditions back all those years ago. But I will warn you don’t go in Summer time as it is so hot you feel like you’re smothering. I think Fall would be the best time. Also they have cute little shops that sell jewelry and other mementos.
