Day 1 - Late afternoon arrival to Williamsburg area with overnight.

Day 2 - Following breakfast, a morning departure is scheduled to begin our memorable sightseeing. Our entire day is devoted to Williamsburg. This picturesque city is one of the places where modern America began and many great ideas of our republic were written into law. Our guided visit will take us to such places as the "Governor's Palace", the Public Gaol (old-time jail), wigmaker (barbershop), and post office. Known to such great patriots as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Patrick Henry, Williamsburg will certainly prove to be a highlight of our American History lesson. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant. We will continue our sightseeing with a visit to Carter's Grove Plantation. Built in 1750, a 1929 renovation led to the mansion's designation as "the most beautiful house in America." The grounds at Carter's Grove contain a representation of Wolstenholme Towne (a 17th-century community destroyed by an Indian attack in 1622 and lost beneath the ground until archeologists discovered it in the 1970's), 18th-century agriculture area, slave quarter, and archaeology museum. Dinner tonight is included and will be served in a local restaurant. Our evening continues with a walking tour and candlelight visit of Colonial Williamsburg.

Day 3 - Following breakfast this morning, we will continue our adventure with a visit to Monticello, the former home of Thomas Jefferson. Unlike so many homes of the great, Monticello has a lived-in quality that endears it to ordinary mortals. Inspired by 16th century Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Pallidio, Monticello sits atop a small mountain; thus its name. There are also several outbuildings to visit, including a kitchen and wine cellar. Lunch and dinner will be served locally. This evening, we will transfer to the airport for our return flight back home, taking with us fond memories of an incredible journey.
