March 15, 200817 yr Here I am in Williamsburg, enjoying some of the historical landmarks of our earliest colonial days. I want to share something of the experience with you, my fellow forumites, and so I thought I'd drop a line. Unfortunately, I don't have any internet connection in my room, and so I haven't been able to post a log of my travels. However, I'm also afraid I'll be too lazy to post it later unless I promise something now, so I'm creating this as a place holder. I always find a lot to enjoy wherever I go, but this trip outshines both Napa Valley and England for one reason in particular... only my wife and I came this time. I've taken several photos to share already, and the experience has been excellent so far, from the re-enactment of Washington's speech to the continental army to rummers. We managed to catch dinner at the Kings Arms Inn last night. Wonderful food, but expensive (for us). We ran a little late yesterday, and so we're going to return to do more stuff in Historic Williamsburg. I've been around Virginia a bit, but I haven't had the chance to vacation in the past. Also, vacation has given me a chance to catch up on correspondence, but that will have to wait until I have an internet connection.

March 15, 200817 yr Thanks for the update. Keep em coming. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
March 16, 200817 yr Go to eat here: http://www.pierces.com/ Of the touristy stuff in the 'Burg, I like the reconstructed Jamestown settlement best.
March 17, 200817 yr Author Thanks, Enoch. We did, in fact, eat at Pierces today. I thought it was going to be a sit down dining experience. I was surprised to see that it's kind of a combination of fast food and sit down, with no waitresses, but tables. The place was PACKED. The BBQ (not grilled, this stuff was BBQed).... wait, where was I? Oh yeah, the BBQ was great. The wife says the best she's ever tasted. (Ungrateful wretch. Aw, hell, it really was great stuff though.) I especially loved the cookies. I mean, wow. Awesome! We also hit Jamestown today. Who cares about history when you've got food? haha Thanks for the tips. If anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know. :Cant's well fed grin icon: Fionavar's Holliday Wishes to all members of our online community: Happy Holidays Join the revelry at the Obsidian Plays channel:Obsidian Plays Remembering tarna, Phosphor, Metadigital, and Visceris.

March 18, 200817 yr You should head north up to Historical Kalamazoo. Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
March 18, 200817 yr I don't want to be a party pooper but unless I'm mistaken, the birth of the Americas was 400 years ago... where Quebec city now lies. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
