Last summer we had our annual Miller family vacation in Williamsburg. We go on a summer trip every year with Ben’s parents and sister, normally to the beach. This year we decided to mix it up and went to Williamsburg.

We stayed at the Kingsmill Resort which was fantastic. They had a multiple pools, one with a water slide, sand, and a lazy river. Sam went down the water slide approximately 1,000 times. Our room had a beautiful view of the river. There were lots of restaurants and cool places to explore, including a marina and walking paths.

We spent two days at Colonial Williamsburg, which I would highly recommend! There was so much for the kids to see and learn (and the adults too). Our favorites were the brick making station (you get to stomp in the mud), Cristiana Campbell’s Tavern (one of GW’s favorite restaurants!), and a palace tour (especially the palace kitchen).

We were there over the 4th which was pretty special. Unfortunately it was unseasonably cold while we were there–I actually wished I had a sweatshirt! But overall the trip was a huge success and we’re all looking forward to going again this summer.
