Easter Break - where to go in VA?

My husband and I are trying to figure out where to go for our Easter Break - we have four days and we%26#39;d like to go somewhere interesting, but we%26#39;re having a tough time figuring out where to go. We%26#39;re both teachers, so we thought Williamsburg would be fun, but we%26#39;ve seen posts that maybe there wouldn%26#39;t be enough to do. We like places like Lancaster, PA, and we aren%26#39;t interested in roller coasters or anything like that. Any suggestions? Anywhere in VA would be easy enough for us to go to...

I%26#39;m not sure what you%26#39;ve read that would lead you to think there wouldn%26#39;t be enough to do in Williamsburg. In addition to Colonial Williamsburg, there%26#39;s both Jamestown sites, both Yorktown sites, the Yorktown Riverwalk development (shopping, dining), Presidents Park. An hour or less away takes you to the Virginia Living Museum in Newport News, Nauticus in Norfolk, Chrysler Museum of Art; back in Williasmburg, there%26#39;s the Muscarelle Museum of art on the campus of the College of William and Mary, and many other things in the Williamsburg area.

Another idea would be the Richmond/Charlottesville areas. Charlottesville of course has Monticello; nearby is Ash Lawn/Highland, and Montpelier. Lots of wineries, too. Richmond has Maymont, Poe museum, Museum of Fine Art, plus lots of civil war sites in the vicinity. A visit to the Museum of the Civil War Soldier near Petersburg provides interesting exhibits and walks.

Come on down; you%26#39;ll find lots to do and enjoy!

As Zoey said, there%26#39;s lots to do in Virginia. We%26#39;re fortunate because it%26#39;s less than 4 hrs from the ocean to the mountains. Williamsburg is quite nice and you could spend a day and evening there (be sure to take in one of the Taverns, Zoey can tell you more or read some of the posts). Then drive a hour or so in either direction and enjoy something entirely different; Va Beach oceanfront %26amp; downtown Norfolk or Richmond then about an hour to Charlottesville and you%26#39;ll be right at Shenandoah National Park. Skyline Drive has beautiful scenery and many places to pull over for wonderful views. Driving north on Skyline, check out Luray Caverns, great caverns tour.
