Relive the past at Colonial Williamsburg, the largest outdoor living history museum in the United States, with almost 500 public buildings, homes, stores and taverns meticulously restored to 18th-century glory. Ask a blacksmith, dressed in period costume, about his trade or learn good manners from a school-age George Washington. For thrills, head to Water Country USA or to Busch Gardens, renowned for award-winning roller coasters like the Alpengeist and Apollo's Chariot. After a good dose of history and hair-raising rides, do some wine tasting or pop into Shields Tavern for a pint and authentic 1700s fare Then settle in at a Colonial period inn or a modern hotel. A weekend in Williamsburg is sure to wow the whole family. « less
