A must see if staying in Williamsburg! Justin and I love walking down Duke of Gloucester Street. Some of our favorite restaurants are The Cheese Shop for lunch, Amber Ox for dinner/brunch/drinks, Berrett's for seafood, Precarious Beer Project for drinks/games, & Green Leafe Cafe or College Delly for pub food/drinks.
September is a great time of year to visit Busch Gardens amusement partk when the weather is (hopefully) cooler.
One of Justin and I's favorite date spots in Williamsburg! Billsburg is a fun brewery on the river located next to James City County Marina where you can rent kayaks/paddle boards for $15-20/hour between the hours of 8am-2pm.
Another classic Williamsburg brewery. Stopping next door to Casa Pearl is a must for delicious oysters & tacos.
"Maymont is a 100-acre Victorian estate and public park in Richmond, Virginia. It contains Maymont Mansion, now a historic house museum, an arboretum, an Italian and Japanese garden, a carriage collection, native wildlife exhibits, a nature center, and a petting zoo."
"Colorful Carytown is a bohemian district centered around a stretch of West Cary Street, with indie boutiques, record stores, and vintage emporiums. Quirky murals brighten alleyways and buildings housing cool cafes, bakeries, and health-conscious lunch spots, while evening crowds fill farm-to-table restaurants and craft cocktail bars."
"Located along the James River in downtown Richmond, Belle Isle is a great place for people with a love for the outdoors. From wooded areas to mountain biking trails, interpreted historical sites, a granite wall for rock climbing, guests have a variety of options to choose from. From Belle Isle, visitors can see historic sites like Hollywood Cemetery, Tredegar Iron Works, and the downtown Richmond city skyline. Belle Isle has many bike trails around the island and a small cliff used for rock-climbing demonstrations. Large, flat rocks surrounding the island make for good sunbathing."
