Since I live in Richmond, I have the advantage of being in close driving proximity to Williamsburg, VA. My family and I visit it often, seeing how that is the one place that has so much entertainment and historic places all in one little area. There is so much to do, to learn, and to see. You can shop the whole day away (or empty your pocket book, whichever goes first) or play all day or even just see how this whole place began ¦
