7. Williamsburg, Virginia
Excited by all things America? If so, take a vacation to Williamsburg and experience how life was for the first settlers. You can stay at one of the 26 Colonial Houses, and get comfortable in a tavern-style room. You can also visit Historic Jamestowne, the Governor’s Palace or go on one of the popular ghost tours.
If that’s not enough to make you want to visit, you can take a walking to tour to visit the blacksmith, saddle maker, the apothecary, and wig maker. You can also meet many of the Founding Fathers along the way and the First Lady Martha Washington. It’s like a Disneyland version of American History, filled with actors to make your time there memorable and a learning experience. The area is also home to many shops, museums and all kinds of other activities – why not take a ride on a horse and cart?
