Fall is a great time to travel, so my husband and I decided to book a week in Williamsburg, Virginia from October 18 to 25, 2009. Our home base was the historic Powhatan Plantation from where we did various local excursions. Williamsburg itself is the heart of Colonial Virginia, a city of about 12000 people that was the capital of the British colony of Virginia from 1699 to 1780. At the time Virginia was Englands oldest and richest colony, particularly thanks to the tobacco plantations that had sprung up Williamsburg itself is a pretty town set among in rolling verdant terrain and its downtown core features the Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area which recreates 18th century Williamsburg. The idea for this area originated with Reverend Dr. Goodwin of Williamsburgs Bruton Parish Church who was concerned about the survival of Colonial-era buildings and approached billionaire John Dr. Rockefeller Jr. in 1924 to initiate the recreation and restoration of Colonial Williamsburg. Many of the colonial structures that had been torn down earlier were recreated, including the Governors Palace and the Capitol Building. Other important historic buildings include the Bruton Parish Church and the Raleigh Tavern. Another significant Williamsburg is the College of William and Mary, the second oldest institution of higher education in the United States after Harvard University. This university was founded in 1693 and educated such illustrious personalities as US Presidents Thomas Jefferson

There’s a VERY cool statue called King Neptune. I’m on the boardwalk of Virginia Beach, Virginia. From my trip on June 28, 2009. The day I was there, it was very overcast and grey. Also featuring funky reggae music artists: Uwe Banton – “Love Reggae” Bob Marley – “Roots Rock Reggae” Natiruts Reggae Power 4 – “Naticongo” Virginia Beach has a beautiful big sandy beach but no waves. The 34-foot high cast bronze King Neptune statue stands between Neptune Park and the sea. With trident in hand, he is surrounded by the creatures of his realm. The statue was dedicated to the City of Virginia Beach on September 30, 2005 during the Neptune Festival Boardwalk Weekend. King Neptune, is an awesome sculpture all the way around. At Neptune’s Park is the Hilton Hotel and the Virginia Beach Amphitheater which is a 20000-capacity outdoor concert venue hosting 30-40 events each season. Up and down Atlantic Avenue are more restaurants and junk food joints than you could dream of. I seriously have never seen so many restaurants advertising breakfast and above all pancakes in my life. If you want to eat pizza, ice cream, pancakes, hamburgers, subs, and any other artery clogging food then Virginia Beach’s Atlantic Avenue is the place to be. Oh yeah, and seafood buffets are advertised heavily but they aren’t cheap and definitely not as good as the Bellagio Buffet in Las Vegas which really is the best buffet and best seafood buffet ever. The boardwalk is marked at every 1/2 mile and is a total
