Dear Travel Friend,
Get ready for an action-packed vacation to Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia! History comes alive in this living history museum. Indoors and out, you'll walk in the footprints of notable figures such as Thomas Jefferson and others! You'll get hands-on with 18th-century trades, see art and artifacts in the world-class history museums, you'll eat like a colonial local and you can stay right on the property! Book a vacation TODAY! My most recent trip was in November of 2017 to shoot an episode of "Beyond Your Backyard" for PBS. Sincerely, Erik |
