WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA--HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Thursday, February 23 / Williamsburg, Virginia Hampton Inn and Suites-Central, 718 Bypass Road

Another 7 ½ hour driving day.  The weather was low 80s and sunny and Tim drove expertly all the way. My calculations show that Tim has driven about 3400 miles and we have spent about $800 on gasoline. Tonight’s fill up was $3.44/gallon in Williamsburg. 

This is the first hotel we have paid for during the entire trip because of Tim’s skillful use of our Hilton and Marriott points. Tonight’s room is huge, an entryway, sofa, comfy chair, desk and chair, kitchenette, and bath with separate mirror and sink area.

After checking in, we headed for dinner. Williamsburg has some of our favorite restaurants, including Captain George’s Seafood, Pierce’s Pitt Bar-B-Que, and Shields Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg, but we opted for Uno’s Chicago Grille for a quick bite—we haven’t had any pizza in almost two months! Tim was willing to hit another outlet so we spent about an hour there. Tomorrow may be cooler, but we will make the best of the day!

Aside to DMG: Tim got his truck washed at Buggy Bathe--this has to be the most careful carwash ever!
Aside to B1 and B2: We passed Great Wolf Lodge on the way in to Williamsburg---how we wish you were here!!
