I know, I know. You’re probably all thinking…”Well, it’s about time she posted these Williamsburg pictures.” Am I right? Haha…I hope not. There are way too many pictures to put in one post, so this is the first set of pictures. I’ll be posting them throughout the next few days. Sorry it’s taken me so long! I hope you enjoy seeing a glimpse into our family vacation.
{Day 1: On the way to Williamsburg}
The day after Christmas, we got up early (like 6:30ish…), took showers, finished our packing, loaded up our van with many bags and pillows, and then we (my family) headed to my grandma’s house. It was 8:30 when we actually left town, so it was pretty early when we left our house. Anyway, my Uncle Bobby and his family were staying at my grandma’s house that night, so we (my family) went to grandma’s and helped them load up their car, and then we all left town together.
We also changed seats while we were at grandma’s house… Caroline decided to ride with us, so in our van we had: Daddy (our awesome driver), Katie, Caroline, and yours truly.
…and then the rest of the crew was in Uncle Bobby’s car: Aunt Kim, Christopher, Andrew, Uncle Bobby, and grandma. ;)![]()
{Caroline had my camera at this point...You never know what she is going to take a picture of.. Haha. Love that girl. }
We had beautiful weather that day for traveling and there was hardly anyone on the roads throughout the entire trip, which was amazing.
{We kept trying to pass Uncle Bobby on the highway. Hahaha..}
Meet Seymour!! (Caroline’s new pillow pet)
We spent most of our time just talking about random things, Caroline and I played the ABC game (I’ll post the video in another post), singing to Daddy’s new Lady Antebellum CD he got for Christmas, taking pictures, and making random videos (and laughing until our stomach’s hurt…)
We only stopped at one rest stop during the whole trip, people. That’s probably why it didn’t take us very long to get there. Hahaha…we only stayed there for a minimum of 15 minutes.
{Caroline and yours truly…”Squeeeeeeeee!!! We're here!!!” We had been looking forward to this trip for months, so we were extremely excited. }
We got into town just in time for lunch, so we decided to head over to Cracker Barrel while we waited to check into our hotel.
We attempted to play this game {above} while we waited for our food, but I’m sad to say that we failed miserably… :)![]()
And…Caroline and I played “Checkers” before we left to do some shopping. Check in time at the hotel was at 3:00, so we had about an hour to shop and ride around town…
Another random picture by my lovely cousin, Caroline. Katie chilling in the backseat with her awesome aviators. :)![]()
Our hotel!!! It was very nice and I highly recommend staying there if you go to Williamsburg. The people that worked there were very helpful and nice to all the customers, and the rooms were very clean and weren’t small. Loved this hotel. ;)
Next up: Williamsburg pictures {Part 2}--Christmas Town at Busch Gardens.
Happy Friday, readers!!

That's so funny that you went to Williamsburg, I was like 15 minutes away as I was home for Christmas. My grandma and aunt stayed at that same hotel too and I've eaten at that Cracker Barrel. It's so weird to think a blogger I know through the internet was so close to home. Glad you had a fun trip, Williamsburg is a beautiful place full of history!
Thanks for taking us on your roadtrip!
Happy blogoversary :)
Hehehe I got to see these before anyone elseee ;) Your photography has really improved friend!
I love Williamsburg. I have been there twice, and loved it more each time. :)
Lovely pictures! It looks like you had lots of fun.
