Williamsburg Weekend

We took a quick trip down to Williamsburg last weekend to take advantage of our limited amount of time left in DC. On Saturday, we started the day at a fantastic farmer's market and then went to Busch Gardens amusement park and rode roller coasters. While I was a little disappointed that they no longer serve free beer (which apparently used to be the case!) we still had a ton of fun and got to go on every ride (and some twice!). On Sunday, we went to Colonial Williamsburg, which was awesome !!! (despite Tracy Jordan's disparaging comment in 30 Rock). We packed a picnic and ate on the banks of the James River where the first permanent (European) American settlement was founded in 1607. Not bad for a malarial swamp! I took a quick spin through the archaeological site before we jumped in the car for a long ride home. Talk about packing it in for the weekend!
