Williamsburg, VA trip pics

Sniz · 06-08-2011, 09:56 PM

went down last Saturday AMish and came back LATE Monday night. Had a great great time w Veronica, weather couldnt have been better, crowds were minimal since school is still in, etc. Perfect.

The route someone suggested worked out perfectly. Took rt 301 all the way down to rt 17 in VA. Rt. 17 is awesome!!! 60mph the whole way, 4 lanes total, NO TRAFFIC, NO COPS, SMOOTH ROAD CONDITIONS, GREAT SCENARY. Seriously turned out to be an amazing road for us. Then I got dumped onto rt. 64 in VA 11 miles from Williamsburg.....and that 11 miles took over 45 minutes

. I'm so glad I took the country route, that heavy traffic would have driven me insane and caused massive cramping in my left leg.

Pics, lots more on a little point and shoot but those have no interest to a car forum

.

Fueling up in Dayton, MD after battling w a brake pedal sensor for an hour....f that thing!! Thanks Adam for letting me use the garage again, I still need to get the car back out of there and finish cleaning up after myself....new job is keeping me BUSY.

made it down to the hotel just across the street from William & Mary.....I present the Ho House. Not bad at all for the price, only $80/night off Travelocity.

our scenic view....

W&M, part of their buildings. Great architecture and upkeep here for sure.

Flowers outside W&M, gorgeous campus, makes Towson U look like the dump that it is.

The main drag in Colonial Williamsburg. Apparently this street, from W&M to the capitol building, was the 1st mile walked off by George Washington back in the day. Cool stuff here.

Great places to eat, this is at 'Wine & Cheese'.....clever name. They serve wine and cheese. Damn good though.

You would be...if you ate down here every day

As good as their beer, that means DAMNED good

heaven

M3 parked in its underground cave under the hotel, bonus points for the Ho House for this perk.

Us

Leaving out the last day

At Busch Gardens, had an awesome time. Very short lines. I forgot how f'n awesome roller coasters are....damn.

oh, and she got a ton of looks from the 'local talent'

. Haters. Her other option was a short dress.....that would have been interesting on the rides lol.

ok thats my trip. thanks for looking.

Glad to hear that the route worked out. I'll have to take a look into it today when we are driving down to charleston for the weekend.

I do have to say, as good as your wine and cheese pairing might have been, the girlfriend and car paring was even better.

I do miss my 95 E36 M3 when I see a nice clean one....8 years of ownership.....best car I ever owned.....modded and never gave me a problem.

Matt, how is it your gf's dress and shirt matches the M3 so well?!? Custom ordered threads?

Careful using the flex on her; she might enjoy it so much I'll never get it back.

tmdb335 · 06-09-2011, 09:57 PM

awesome pics and sounds like you had a great time.

I see you stopped at the Williamsburg Inn. Not your $80/ night stay, but very classy place. A few year back for my anniversary it was $400/ night. Glad I had a gift certificate to knock the price down, but what a room. Perfect time of the year to go too. Glad you had a great time.
