Did you know that Williamsburg is one of the oldes Did you know that Williamsburg is one of the oldest cities in the USA? 🇺🇸 Together with Jamestown and Yorktown it forms what’s know as the Historic Triangle - an area of great historic significance in Virginia 🧱 I’d recommend spending a full day in Colonial Williamsburg so you can explore all of the unique reconstructed buildings and enjoy the atmosphere 👌🏼 • • • • • • • • • • #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #virginiaisforlovers #travelblogger #kristatheexplorer #virginia
Colonial Williamsburg is a must-visit for anyone w Colonial Williamsburg is a must-visit for anyone who’s planning a trip to Virginia 🇺🇸 The city was founded in 1632 and in 1699 it was named the capital of the Virginia Colony 📜 It’s completely free to walk around, and you can talk to actors who are dressed up in historic clothing which is pretty interesting! 😎 Have you been to Williamsburg yet? 🤔 • • • • • • • • • • #williamsburg #virginia #virginiaisforlovers #travelblogger #kristatheexplorer #usatravel

It’s known for its sandy beaches, and it’s a great place to come in the summer to relax. It’s also pretty nice in the off season too, when you’ll find it less crowded 🌊 But where should you stay in Virginia Beach? 🤔 I spent a weekend at the beautiful The Inn at Old Beach which is a newly renovated historic boutique B&B just a short walk from the beachfront 🛌 I’d recommend the Princess Anne room which features a queen bed, a private balcony, a very spacious bedroom, and a swoon-worthy bathroom, complete with a tub and walk-in shower. During the week you can pre-order a breakfast hamper to your room, and on weekends you’ll find a free breakfast available in the dining room 🥐 This is one of the best boutique hotels in Virginia, and it’s location is pretty great too! 🇺🇸 • • • • • • • • • • #virginiaisforlovers #boutiquehotel #historichotel #virginiabeach #kristatheexplorer #travelblogger
