December 5-7 (Friday-Sunday)
100 Miles of Christmas Lights
from
Williamsburg to Virginia Beach, VA
Day 1:
Welcome Aboard! Illuminate your spirits
for the holidays and experience the magic of millions of sparkling lights
stretching from Williamsburg to Virginia Beach. Today we visit Colonial
Williamsburg, the nation’s largest and oldest outdoor living museum. Step
into the past, join in the creation of a new nation, and be swept up in the
daily life of a busy 18th-century city as you are greeted by shopkeepers,
slaves, and outspoken patriots. Visit original and restored homes, public
buildings, shops, and stroll the more than 90-acres of landscaped gardens and
courtyards. Your General Admission Pass allows you admission to all the
buildings, plus the Governor’s Palace. After a delicious dinner
we continue onto Newport News, Virginia for Celebration in Lights,
a dazzling kaleidoscope of color created by 650,000 lights. Later we arrive at
our oceanfront destination, the Best Western Oceanfront Virginia Beach,
which has private balconies with stunning views of the beautiful Atlantic
Ocean, for the next two nights.
Day 2:
After a buffet breakfast we depart for
the Norfolk Naval Station, the world’s largest naval installation. Upon
arrival, an active duty Navy guide will board our deluxe motor
coach, and give us a 45-minute narrated tour of the naval base. After
our tour we are off to see some of Norfolk’s historic homes which are decorated
in period fashion for the holidays. The Hunter House Victorian Museum is
rich in architectural detail, and displays the Hunter family’s collection of
furnishings and decorated pieces in a Victorian Christmas setting. Decorated
for Hanukka, the Moses Myers House is an elegant federal period home
dating back to 1792, and was built by one of Norfolk’s first Jewish residents.
This afternoon we attend the musical A Christmas Carol, Dickens timeless
story of Ebenezer Scrooge and his encounters with the ghosts of the Christmas
past, present and future. Before returning to our hotel, we stop for a
delicious dinner, and a “stroll” down the boardwalk aboard our deluxe
motor coach viewing three miles of dazzling holiday lights at the beach.
Day 3:
Start the day with a buffet breakfast at
your leisure. With part of the morning free you can choose to sit, relax, and
experience the comforts of our oceanfront hotel. We depart for home with many
pleasant memories of a Colonial Christmas and yuletide lights. Happy
Holidays!
