this past weekend we headed to williamsburg for a little r&r. we stayed at kings mill resort right outside of bg. saturday morning we got up and headed to the park. we managed to ride all of the roller coasters twice in the front row! score! we ate lunch at the bbq place, and that was some yummy stuff! we decided to ride the roman rapids to cool down, but that did me in! we were soaked! we squish squashed our way back to the hotel and settled in for some relaxing!
after some hot showers and drowning in the covers at kings mill we decided to head over to the marina. if you’ve never been, you should really check it out! we thought we were just going to go for a drink by the water, but the weather, the music, the atmosphere was so perfect we did not want to leave our riverside table! the marina is on the james river and has an amazing sunset view. the marina was crowded with people listening to the music (very jimmy buffetesq) and just enjoying the view. the hostess said it would be an hour before a table was ready, but before we could get our koolaids from the bar, the buzzer was going off and a table for two overlooking the water was ready! we scurried on over and both looked at each other and said “we’re not moving until they make us move!” we really had one of the most relaxing evenings we’ve had in 2009! it’s always great to have the sound of the water, the breeze on sunburned skin, fresh seafood, great koolaid, good music, and your love bug at your side!
sunday morning we woke up and decided we’re too old for two days of bg back to back, and resorted to breakfast in bed via room service. doing this allowed us to stay snuggled up in the down comforter and our matching robes while we snoozed for our late checkout. after checkout we went on the “good” coffee search, as we both decided two things this weekend – we are wine and coffee snobs. now that we had that settled, we needed something besides folgers to be “the best part of wakin’ up” – off to starbucks we went. while its not the BEST coffee, it would have to do. one venti double chai tea latte and grande vanilla latte later and we were on our way. we headed down to colonial williamsburg to meander down the streets until we had to head back to nc to pick up the doggies. we saw some amazing garden layouts that we’d love to put into effect in our yard one day.
we definately had an amazing time on this quickie vacation getaway, and can’t wait for the bahamas in august!
