<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:10</time>
<p>Colonial Williamsburg and the town's</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:12</time>
<p>path from being one of the birthplaces</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:14</time>
<p>of our nation to today's tourist draw</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:17</time>
<p>but if you've never visited there it can</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:19</time>
<p>be a bit intimidating to know where to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:22</time>
<p>go and what all there is to do so today</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<p>we are going to teach you what we have</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<p>to this historic playground so Jen give</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:31</time>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:34</time>
<p>to do at Williamsburg</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:38</time>
<p>are things that we learned as first</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:40</time>
<p>timers that I wouldn't do again and so I</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:43</time>
<p>just wanted to give recommendations to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:44</time>
<p>people especially if you're on your way</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:46</time>
<p>to Colonial Williamsburg right now where</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:48</time>
<p>should I go where should I park</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:50</time>
<p>GPS is going to take you to the visitor</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:52</time>
<p>center yes which is where we start off</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:53</time>
<p>with the video I'll put the video in the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:56</time>
<p>in the in the description and The</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:57</time>
<p>Visitor Center is great I would say it's</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:00</time>
<p>great for two things one the gift shop</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:03</time>
<p>yep they have the biggest and best gift</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:06</time>
<p>shops there two the amount of ticket</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:09</time>
<p>people available to you so they have</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:12</time>
<p>about eight which is great because the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:15</time>
<p>ticket place in actual Colonial</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:18</time>
<p>Williamsburg is like two people that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:21</time>
<p>work at a snail's pace it takes forever</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:23</time>
<p>it takes forever so if you're looking to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:24</time>
<p>get something that sells out quickly</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:27</time>
<p>like carriage rides I would recommend</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:30</time>
<p>you go to the visitor center and get</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:32</time>
<p>your carriage ride yeah don't get me</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:33</time>
<p>started on the carriage rides I know</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:35</time>
<p>but it is not the place to be to get to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:40</time>
<p>Colonial Williamsburg to be in the heart</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:42</time>
<p>of everything okay because it's a hike</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:43</time>
<p>it's a walk and they have shuttle buses</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:46</time>
<p>if you want to ride a shuttle bus</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:50</time>
<p>and you can park there and I would say</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:52</time>
<p>they have a lot of parking there so if</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:54</time>
<p>you had a bigger vehicle or an RV it</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:57</time>
<p>might be the better place to park</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:59</time>
<p>however</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:01</time>
<p>we found the better place to park that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:03</time>
<p>also has a lot of parking it's free and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:05</time>
<p>it's free and it's open is at the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:08</time>
<p>Rockefeller folk art museum so as I</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:12</time>
<p>talked about in the previous</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:13</time>
<p>podcast The Rockefellers were the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:16</time>
<p>philanthropists that funded the the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:19</time>
<p>Resurgence of Colonial Williamsburg and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:21</time>
<p>part of it is a</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:23</time>
<p>folk art museum that's named for um John</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:27</time>
<p>D Rockefeller Jr's wife Abby Rockefeller</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:29</time>
<p>so Abby Rockefeller folk art museum is</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:32</time>
<p>what you want to put in your GPS and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:35</time>
<p>that's where you want to park it's free</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:36</time>
<p>you don't have to pay for it a little</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:38</time>
<p>bit closer to Colonial Williamsburg I'd</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:41</time>
<p>say a block closer you will pay but to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:43</time>
<p>walk one block yeah park it you</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:45</time>
<p>basically Park in this parking lot you</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:47</time>
<p>walk by this Museum on the way and then</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:50</time>
<p>and then you're a block down and you are</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:52</time>
<p>and you're right there you're right on</p>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:12</time>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:17</time>
<p>[Music]</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:21</time>
<p>but it is a walking place it is the Duke</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:25</time>
<p>of glossier is a Long Street and one</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:28</time>
<p>done of it is the Capitol Building at</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:31</time>
<p>the other end of it is the College of</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:32</time>
<p>William and Mary and then from that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:36</time>
<p>spans off the palace green which has the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:39</time>
<p>governor's Palace right across from that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:42</time>
<p>green is the ticket office so that's</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:45</time>
<p>where the carriage rides will also start</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:47</time>
<p>as well so you'll see people gathering</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:48</time>
<p>over there and you'll see carriages over</p>
<p></p>

<p>to go into any place and engage with the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:58</time>
<p>people you need a ticket and usually</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:00</time>
<p>they're marked if they're open with a</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:02</time>
<p>colonial flag so the colonial flags will</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:04</time>
<p>be in front of buildings because not</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<time>00:12:41</time>
<p>of from the time and that was really fun</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:43</time>
<p>as well</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:44</time>
<p>now now some other tips you know I'll</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:47</time>
<p>talk about real quick as far as like</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:49</time>
<p>eating there yeah so we did The Tavern</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:51</time>
<p>we did King's arm Tavern and that was</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:54</time>
<p>just that King's arm is definitely more</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:56</time>
<p>of an adult you know you need to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:12:58</time>
<p>probably make reservations for that and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:00</time>
<p>it's going to be expensive it was cool</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:02</time>
<p>but it's historic they will serve you</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:05</time>
<p>the food that they ate at the time</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:07</time>
<p>they'll tell you all about whatever</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:09</time>
<p>you're eating they will and they'll give</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:11</time>
<p>you a lesson in like your napkin yep</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:13</time>
<p>they put the napkin on me how long it is</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:15</time>
<p>and why it's this long and and then kind</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:18</time>
<p>of stuff that you're drinking and what</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:19</time>
<p>would they drink and some of the little</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:21</time>
<p>appetizers like the relishes and stuff</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:23</time>
<p>things that would basically be preserved</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:25</time>
<p>for long periods of time but I would</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:27</time>
<p>recommend a Tavern again reservations</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:30</time>
<p>and expect to spend some money yeah I</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:33</time>
<p>mean if you're if you're bringing your</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:34</time>
<p>kids</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:36</time>
<p>um you actually can't eat in the the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:38</time>
<p>museum so that's a good tip that's it</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:40</time>
<p>that's not a lot of people know about</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:41</time>
<p>yeah around lunchtime it's gonna get</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:43</time>
<p>crowded especially down at the end of</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:45</time>
<p>Duke of glossier or opposite of the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:47</time>
<p>capital close to William and Mary is</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:50</time>
<p>where you're going to have all the food</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:51</time>
<p>shops and it gets packed it gets packed</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:54</time>
<p>so you have like you know the Mellow</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:55</time>
<p>Mushroom pizza and you're gonna have</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:57</time>
<p>things like quick little Eatery kind of</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:13:59</time>
<p>things and it's packed hour wait two</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:01</time>
<p>hour wait but the museum has a food</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:05</time>
<p>court yeah so if you just go back to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:07</time>
<p>where you parked by the museum and you</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:10</time>
<p>don't have to pay to go in the museum if</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:12</time>
<p>you just you go because it's like is it</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:14</time>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:16</time>
<p>like it's right up front yeah it's right</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:18</time>
<p>up front and you just say I'm going to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:19</time>
<p>go eat at the food court they let you</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:20</time>
<p>right in now usually with your ticket</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:22</time>
<p>you can get into the museum for free</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:24</time>
<p>anyway that's a great museum it's a</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:25</time>
<p>great museum and if you have kids with</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:27</time>
<p>you they give you kind of a scavenger</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:28</time>
<p>hunt so it's fun for kids to do as well</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:31</time>
<p>so another tip if you have little ones</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:33</time>
<p>with you but you can eat there they have</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:35</time>
<p>salads there they have sandwiches there</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:37</time>
<p>they have drinks there we've done that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:38</time>
<p>once or twice and it's just easy hardly</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:41</time>
<p>any line and you can it's a great view</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:43</time>
<p>it's cheaper and it's this much cheaper</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:45</time>
<p>yeah so that's a great tip if you're</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:46</time>
<p>looking for a place to eat</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:48</time>
<p>[Music]</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:52</time>
<p>there's also see oh honey tours oh</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:56</time>
<p>so you could pay they and I think they</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:58</time>
<p>do these pretty much every night because</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:14:59</time>
<p>they're so fun but they do it by Lantern</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:01</time>
<p>and they take you from house to house</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:04</time>
<p>and and they also have like</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:07</time>
<p>so so again I'll I'll paint a picture of</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:10</time>
<p>Colonial Williamsburg for for those who</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:12</time>
<p>haven't been there right if there's the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:13</time>
<p>main drag</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:14</time>
<p>and you know this it's some Cobblestone</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:17</time>
<p>and this that and the other yes the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:19</time>
<p>Blaster is the big street that's the big</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:21</time>
<p>street and then kind of what tees off of</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:23</time>
<p>it is what goes down towards the power</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:24</time>
<p>screen</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:26</time>
<p>um and then you've got all these little</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:27</time>
<p>things that you can do off you know off</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:29</time>
<p>of each kind of side street and this</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:31</time>
<p>that the other</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:32</time>
<p>um so the palace green is like this</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:34</time>
<p>really it's a gorgeous kind of it's what</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:37</time>
<p>it sounds like it's like a big green</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:39</time>
<p>it's like a big lawn almost like a like</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:42</time>
<p>I would almost call it a field except</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:43</time>
<p>that it's between a bunch of buildings</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:44</time>
<p>and so the kids love running around</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:15:46</time>

<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:10</time>

<p></p>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:18</time>
<p>kind of set the time but they're telling</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:21</time>
<p>you the history and then they're telling</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:23</time>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:25</time>

<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:27</time>
<p>you know whatever yeah so so those are</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:29</time>
<p>absolutely fun and then of course you'll</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:31</time>
<p>pay extra if you want to do a carriage</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:32</time>
<p>ride and we did a carriage ride so I</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:35</time>
<p>know if you're gonna do it I'm gonna</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:37</time>
<p>tell this part of the carriage ride</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:38</time>
<p>story here Jen so for those listening</p>
<p></p>

<p></p>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<time>00:20:04</time>
<p>there are characters that will be like</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:06</time>
<p>eight people or ten people so I know</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:08</time>
