Marta & Michael
Things To Do
Busch Gardens Williamsburg
Michael once gave Marta a piggy back ride the entire way out of Busch Gardens and into the parking lot.
The Mariners' Museum
Learn about local and international maritime history. The Mariners' Museum has displays on lighthouses, model ships, exhibits about exploration, and even the remnants of the U.S.S. Monitor, one of the world's first iron clad warships.
Waller Mill Park
Go for a hike or rent a kayak or paddleboat to explore the reservoir. Marta has been coming here since she was tiny, and Michael worked at the park when they first started dating.
