If you ask these guys their favorite parts of Williamsburg, you will hear something different nearly every time, which to me is a really good sign that they had a great time exploring there. Both boys never wanted to leave the hedge maze behind the Palace. Keaton was determined to get the hoop and stick game down.
By far the most exciting part of our visit was playing the RevQuest which is like a secret spy mission around the entire town. You collect clues from "agents" and secret maps and codes that are hidden all over. You figure out how to save the revolution by determining the size of enemy forces and where they are headed. When you succeed you reunite with an agent who rewards you a cool coin.
The military encampment was definitely a favorite. They trained the boys in drumming and holding a bayonet, and then showed them their living quarters. While we were there we even inadvertently ended up in a marching unit that followed the reenactors to the center of the field where they were acting and shooting the canons.
The warm ginger cakes straight out of the wood burning oven were such a treat and smelled so good. The Woodlands were we stayed had a rocking cool splash pad that was the perfect spot after a long day .
