Williamsburg, Virginia
Day 1
Welcome Aboard! Join us for a fun-filled weekend get-away full of holiday cheer and yuletide spirit in historic Williamsburg, Virginia. Upon our arrival, we are treated to an early afternoon lunch at Shields Tavern before we visit the nation’s largest and oldest outdoor living museum, Colonial Williamsburg. Step into the past and join in the creation of a new nation. Enjoy being swept up in the daily life of a busy 18th-century city as we are greeted by shopkeepers, slaves, and outspoken patriots. Visit the original and restored homes, public buildings and shops, and stroll the more than 90 acres of landscaped gardens and courtyards. Your Two Day Pass provides full access to historic exhibition buildings, including the Governor’s Palace, Capital, Museums and The Revolutionary City. Before checking into the Best Western Plus Historic Area Inn, our hotel for the next two nights, we enjoy a delicious dinner at the Whaling Company. (L, D)
Day 2
After a deluxe continental breakfast we are off to continue our exploration of Colonial Williamsburg. Stroll through Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area and admire holiday windows and doors decorated in 18th-century fashion, handcrafted wreaths, fresh greenery, and festive garlands while exploring the shops and homes along the route. The morning visit to the Williamsburg Pottery Factory is optional for guests. Enjoy shopping in a sophisticated yet casual environment that combines the romance and charm of a traditional European market with the conveniences and sensory experiences of the 21st-century. Later the group will come together at The Aberdeen Barn for a delicious dinner. Tonight, we attend The Grand Illumination celebration. Williamsburg’s Grand Illumination event signals the start of the holiday season, and features the lighting of candles, the illumination of the buildings, caroling, dancing, music, and concludes with a festive fireworks display.
