Things To Do & Places to See
West Duke of Gloucester Street
Take some time to explore Colonial Williamsburg - take a stroll on Duke of Gloucester Street, pick up some candy at Wythe Candy Shop, stroll by the Governor's Palace, and enjoy some shopping. Not too far down the road you can find the Williamsburg Outlets.
Pierce's Pitt Bar-B-Que
Maddy's mom's family has been going to Pierce's since it opened in 1971. Get the regular pulled pork sandwich with slaw and treat yourself to some hush puppies. You won't regret it!
Historic Jamestowne
Take a stroll through historic Jamestown and enjoy the beautiful views and rich history. Colonists first arrived in 1607, making it the first permanent English settlement in North America. Have you ever seen the movie Pocahontas? Well, Pocahontas' tribe, the Powhatans, lived in the Werowocomoco village in Jamestown.
Yorktown Battlefield | Colonial National Historical Park
Historic Yorktown is also yet another national, and state, treasure that should not be passed up. Yorktown was established in 1691 by the Acts for Ports, passed by the General Assembly in Jamestowne. Take a stroll by the Nelson House, the Customhouse, and Grace Church to name a few. You won't be disappointed with the beautiful Tidewater, VA views.
Great Wolf Lodge Water Park | Williamsburg
If waterparks are your thing, then look no further than Great Wolf Lodge. The massive indoor waterpark has plenty to entertain adults and children.
Nauticus Circle
Visit the USS Wisconsin BB-64 in Norfolk, VA and take a self-guided tour. The USS Wisconsin was commissioned in 1944. She served in WWII, the Korean War, and the Gulf War before being decommissioned in 1991. If you've never had the opportunity to climb aboard a battleship, you absolutely cannot miss out on this opportunity.
Busch Gardens Boulevard
If you need a little adventure in your life, Busch Gardens is a great place to start. If you've also been hankering for some international travel during COVID, you can visit six countries at Busch Gardens without even needing your passport. They will just be beginning to decorate for Halloween, which is quite a site.
Scoot's BBQ
For those of you who liked our BBQ at the wedding, go try it out for yourselves and see all the other options they have at Scoot's BBQ. Anything from burnt ends to a shrimp boil, they've got it. Also check out their sister restaurant, Olivia's, in historic Gloucester - they have a mean Reuben.
