![]() "Tony" wrote in message ups.com... Get your butt to Jamestown VA, not far from your planned stop. Battlefields, history, great waterfront. There's a biker's bar there right on the waterfront, and this is serious -- don't miss it. The atmosphere (there is cigarette smoke, be warned) is great fun, you and your kids will see very professional looking people get out and fire up their Harleys, and others' inked and tatooed, get in their minivans and drive away. It's not far from there to Williamsburg. Don't bother getting a ticket, park and walk through the area, visit old houses, enjoy the history. Buy some VA peanuts at the Peanut Shio! You'll never buy Planters again. Go look at the fleet at Newport News. Wilmington NC is worth a stop, visit the Battleship, walk through some old cotton factories. On the way south stop in Charleston SC. Get down near the waterfront and learn what a charming Southern City is really like. It's almost as nice as Chapel Hill NC. Maybe nicer. Charleston is incredible. Nicest people in the world, plenty of excellent restaurants, a neat open air market, and incredible walking tours that address the fabulous houses South of Broad Street (Where the SOB's live), and plenty of area history including pre, during, and post Civil war. A definite stop. I'd suggest avoiding a weekend this time of year. You probably won't find accomodations. You'll be passing over New Orleans as well. The French Quarter will be alive and well, even during Lent. Follow my advice and you won't have time for TX! KB |
