Not Gulliver's Travels, but travels nonetheless. Originally, we planned to take the Outerbanks to Williamsburg, so Mom and I left Charleston traveling up U.S. 17. Getting through Myrtle Beach was a crawl. However, once we crossed the South/North Carolina border, we stopped at the North Carolina Visitor Center, where a very gracious lady helped us plan our route. Learning we had to schedule a ferry ride that would last 2.5 hours and then take another ferry and travel across the Outerbanks would take 12 hours, Mom and I decided to cut through North Carolina using its backroads. With all the small towns and speed zone changes, we made it to Williamsburg around 6 p.m.
Mom and I drove around Colonial Williamsburg looking for a place to stay, and decided on the LaQuinta about two miles from the Visitor's Center. We then visited the VC for a map and orienting us on the activities for the week, so we could plan which day to go to Historic Jamestowne and Yorktown and which day to visit Williamsburg.
Riding in a car does not seem like much of a challenge, but it does wear me out! Great company and conversation, though!
