🇺🇸 DMV Getaway | Historic Williamsburg Weekend Trip 🏰
✨ Williamsburg isn’t just about Busch Gardens! This charming colonial town is packed with history, museums, and even the second-oldest university in the US. Perfect for a low-cost weekend escape! 🏨 Accommodation Used my new Venture X card for a $75 hotel credit—ended up at a Wyndham-affiliated hotel for just $95 total (2 nights, taxes included!) 🎉 Suite with a living room, kitchen, and huge bathtub—plus, the decor felt like stepping into George Washington’s era 🎮 Things to Do 1️⃣ Colonial Williamsburg Museum $29/person (10% off on, extra $3 off via third-party sites). $10 parking, but free shuttles run all day. Live historical reenactments—actors are amazing! Worth a full day. Art museums are surprisingly aesthetic. 2️⃣ Colonial Williamsburg Ghost Tour 👻 $20/person—spooky nighttime walk through real 18th-century murder sites. Not for the faint-hearted! 3️⃣ Great Wolf Lodge (Water Park) 💦 Day pass: $85/person (discounted). Overnight stays? $400+ on weekends 😱 4️⃣ Busch Gardens 🎢 (Saving the full review for after my Tampa trip!) 5️⃣ Outlet Shopping 🛍️ Decent selection, but more for browsing than buying (online shoppers beware). 6️⃣ William & Mary College 🎓 FREE! Strolled through campus after breakfast—gorgeous flowers 🍽️ Where to Eat 1️⃣ Peter Chang (Chinese) 🥢 Better prices than DMV’s Q by Peter Chang + 10% off! 2️⃣ Bangkok Garden (Thai) 🍛 Looks legit—check my food pics! 3️⃣ Gold Taste Sushi 🍣 4️⃣ Masala Craft Indian Kitchen 🍛 5️⃣ Fat Tuna Grill & Oyster House 🦪 Hotel guests get 5% off—had oysters & giant coconut shrimp! 💳 Venture X Referral?
