Fairfield Inn and Suites
Williamsburg, Virginia

75F
Traffic!! I wonder if everyone in the world was going to Williamsburg.
Car packed, coffee cup full, and off we were in the Acura with me at the wheel
for a big change at 8:20 a.m.!
It was great traveling weather, 42F and sunny when we left Erie. The roads
were smooth sailing until the Pennsylvania Turnpike, where heavy traffic joined
us. Breezewood was hectic. We stopped at a PA rest stop/picnic area south of Breezewood for our
traditional tuna sandwiches by TK. From there it did not take long to get into
the DC area and so much more traffic. Cars
and semis weaving in and out, speed limit changes, and slow downs caused by who
knows what. This is the first time I have ever driven I-495, but I have
witnessed so much TK angst that I insisted on continuing the drive. After the
DC area, and a rest stop, I let TK drive the last 2.5 hours to Williamsburg.
It has been at least 16 years since we took the Eastertime break to
Williamsburg and I was reminded of what I love about this trip—the leaves are
bursting out on the trees, the white and pink trees are blossoming, and the
warmth emanates from the earth.
By 5:30 p.m. we were checking into the hotel. After leaving our bags in our
room, we took a little tour of the area and were happy to see so many favorites
still here. Captain George’s restaurant, Chickohominy Inn, and the General Store
are calling our name!
We had an ice cream cone at the General Store and headed back to the hotel
(by the way, our stay these five nights are at no cost, thanks to our Marriott
and Hilton credit card points. We are changing hotels a couple time, but so what!
We are still young.
Tomorrow will be full of photos of the flowers and trees and places we love!
TK’s Takes: He is glad I drove through the DC area. I was calmer than he.
