Quick trip to Williamsburg

After our stay at Wintergreen we drove down to Williamsburg for the night. I love Williamsburg, especially in the fall, and had been wanting to go back for a visit since our last trip in 2005. Luckily we found a hotel that would allow Liddy to stay so we got to take her along as well!

The weather on Tuesday evening was a bit damp, so we didn't get to walk around too much, but we did use the rainy weather as an excuse to do some shopping! First stop, the humongous Yankee Candle store, which has a year round Christmas shop within it. We got to visit Santa's Workshop, and lucky for us Santa was there! So even though he was sleeping, Adam got to meet Santa for the first time--he even let it slip that Adam was in fact on the "nice list" so no coal for our little guy!!

Thankfully the sun came out on Wednesday so we spent the morning walking around and taking in the sites of Colonial Williamsburg. I'm looking forward to going back when Adam is older and learning about the our history.








The highlight of our trip was our two visits to The Cheese Shop. We discovered it the last time we were there and they make phenomenal sandwiches and also have a wine cellar with wine tastings so you can pick out the perfect vino to pair with your sandwich. Doesn't get much better than that!



Aside from a soggy start, we did have a great quick trip and look forward to many more family trips to come!
