Early Thursday morning we took the Amtrak train to Williamsburg, VA because we didn't feel like driving for four hours. When we got here, we met up with my brother- and sister-in law who had flown up from Florida. They had some type of vacation package that they had to use within the next couple of months, so we are all staying here at a free condo right outside the historic area. My husband and I have been to Williamsburg several times, although not recently, but our family members haven't. So it is all new to them.
It's pretty much a ghost town here. There are hardly any tourists. Very different from the spring, summer and fall when this place is mobbed. But the good thing is that there are no lines and no waiting. We were even able to get into a very popular restaurant last night with no reservations. Still, it is a bit chilly. When we got here on Thursday, the weather was great -- we had lunch at an outdoor cafe. But it was cold yesterday and it looks like it's going to be cold today.
We did a lot of walking around the historic area yesterday, but today I'm going to take some time to relax. First stop will be breakfast, then shopping (Virginia peanuts and maybe a ham), then a swim in the indoor pool.
