Williamsburg Plantation Resort - Williamsburg, Virginia
Overview
Surrounded by historical sites, the Williamsburg Plantation resort is just minutes from Colonial Williamsburg, the Jamestown Settlement, Busch Gardens and hundreds of years of Americana. You're invited to spend your days strolling the cobblestoned streets of Colonial Williamsburg and enjoying a vacation that indeed takes you back in time. Save time, however, to enjoy the resort itself!
Relaxing Atmosphere
Modeled after an antebellum plantation, the resort's clubhouse features indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a host of other amenities designed to enrich your stay in one of America's original 13 colonies. The colonial American charm of Williamsburg Plantation makes it the perfect spot for a family vacation.
Historic Area
Wondering what you'll do and see in Williamsburg? If you're into history, you'll be in good company! Known as America's Colonial Capital, history abounds in Williamsburg. Colonial Williamsburg, a living history museum, depicts the life and times of Colonial America. At nearby Jamestown Settlement, the story of America's first permanent English settlement (13 years before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts) and the Virginia Indians they encountered is told through film, gallery exhibits and living history. Fast forward to the Revolutionary War with a visit to historic Yorktown. In October, 1781, the Siege of Yorktown culminated with the British surrender to American and French forces under George Washington's command ending the six-year Revolutionary War and setting the stage for a new government and nation. Who said history can't be fun? And when in Yorktown, don't miss a visit to the Riverwalk area where you can walk on the beach, visit their antique and specialty shops and experience unique dining opportunities.
Accommodations
Our fully-appointed vacation villas are fully furnished with all the conveniences of home -- plus the graceful details you will find in only the finest resorts. Each one of our villas comes with a breakfast bar and/or dining area and a fully equipped kitchen. Relax with a private whirlpool bath in the master bedroom, as well as multiple TVs located in the living area and master bedroom. Our standard one-bedroom villa (with one queen bed) sleeps up to four and includes a queen-size sleeper sofa for extra guests.

Continuing my solo trip in the US, I borrowed a car and left Washington DC. I drove six hours to get to Williamsburg, Virginia. I slept at my hosts' Chelsea and visited Colonial Williamsburg the next day. There was a nice farmers market and many historical remembrances. I also took part to a honey and mead tasting and tried the mead for the first time. I liked it a lot!

Dozens Injured in 60+ Car Pileup in Virginia
A pileup involving more than 60 cars on a major interstate in Virginia on Sunday morning injured dozens of people, some critically, according to state police.
The accident happened just before 8 a.m. (1300 GMT) Sunday on Interstate 64 in York County and for a time shut down traffic in both directions, Virginia State Police Sgt. Michelle Anaya said in a statement.
State police tweeted that there was fog and ice along a bridge when what was described as a chain-reaction wreck began.
Sixty-three vehicles were involved, and 35 people were transported for treatment of injuries, Anaya said late Sunday morning.
She said an unspecified number of those people had injuries considered critical. There were no immediate reports of fatalities.
It was all foggy. So it was hard to see what's in front of me. And then I saw somebody stop light and I press the brake and the car started like moving around, said Alena Levy, describing the moments just before crashing her new Audi in the wreck.
She says she sustained minor neck injuries, but says they aren't serious.
Levy's husband, Ivan, was driving in a separate car further behind and was able to avoid the crash.
I mean, it was crazy, it was like chaos, you know. But, you know, you know, I'm a Marine, so I get trained to run to the sounds of chaos, I suppose, He said. Ivan says he used his training to jump into action and offer assistance to other drivers.
Eastbound lanes eventually reopened, but westbound lanes remained closed hours after the crash, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
An investigation was ongoing, and motorists were being asked to avoid the area.
