Who says Gulliver was the only one who traveled?

They're about $62 online thru the Busch Gardens website. Who actually pays full price for things these days anyway? I used craigslist and found someone in my area trying to get rid of tickets and went and picked up those for $45! Also, if you are active military or military dependent you can get a yearly FREE ADMISSION TICKET. So I went that route :) And if you are a dependent NO you do not have to be with your sponsor (parent/guardian). You just fill out the form on the website I posted below and bring your military I.D. Military just gets all the perks.

^ That also applies for both Busch Gardens, Sea World, Water Country USA (right by Busch Gardens Williamsburg), and Adventure Island (right by Busch Gardens Tampa)

After Busch Gardens, we went back to our hotel (which I will get to in a minute) to change and head to Colonial Williamsburg! Colonial Williamsburg is a great place for families, romantic dates, history buffs, and those with a knack for architecture. Walking into Williamsburg you are greeted with the Capitol. It is a grand building was the site for the government. Along the strip are court houses, restaurants (which you can still eat at today!), homes, hat shoppes, and other colonial shoppes. There's a sundown tour , as well as regular day tours, that you can take to learn the history of all the buildings. When you get to the bottom of the historic buildings there are regular restaurants and shops, as well as William and Mary College stores (the campus is right there) that you can browse through. We ate dinner down there at Seasons Restaurant & Tavern. It was such a romantic restaurant and perfect for our date! The lights were turned down and candle lights galore. We took a seat in a booth surrounding the bar which surprisingly was very quiet and intimate. We felt like we were the only ones there! Our waiter was very attentive and the food was amazing. For the appetizer we ordered Crab Dip and bread. My boyfriend ordered it and I was reluctant on but it turned out to be so good. We ordered another! For our entrees, I ordered the New England Seafood chowder and my boyfriend ordered the Hawaiian Ribeye. When his came out I didn't know how it would taste with all those pineapples and unfamiliar sauce on it but it turned out to be AMAZING. My fork kept wandering to his plate :) Mine was great as well. I liked that it wasn't just clam chowder but all TYPES of seafood. It was very large and filling. That was probably the best meal I've had in awhile and it wasn't that expensive! It came out to about $45! After we walked over to Ben & Jerry's and got an ice cream cone to split...or more like I didn't order one and was eating his :) He really loves me, huh?

I made sure to pick a hotel that was close to the main tourist attractions. Lucky for me, I found one that was walking distance! We stayed at the Quality Inn Colony. This hotel had colonial architecture which was fitting for the area. They were outdoor facing rooms with green shutter-style storm doors in front of the room door. Columns surrounded the whole exterior. It was a very quaint hotel. We got the King bed room which was pretty spacey. It included Wifi ( which I am now starting to find that all hotels do not include that or charge for it!), continental breakfast, snack/soda machine, and visitor pamphlets on all the tourist attractions, which we came to find helpful. When you walk into the main building /lobby you are greeted by colonial furniture and portraits. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating. There is plenty of parking and an outdoor pool that is open to guest 24/7. My only complaint with the hotel was the toilet, it had rust in it, and the shower floors...they were a bit..gross. But it could have been just our room? Overall, I suggest it and it is great for short time stays or if you want to experience Colonial Williamsburg or go to Busch Gardens (it was only 2 miles away) 

There was also a Clarion Hotel and Howard Johnson Hotel that were also walking distance to Colonial Williamsburg.
