A Gastronomical Trifecta: Visiting Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown

Julia wanted to show me her alma mater: William & Mary College.

I wanted to see a few historic sites from Colonial America, collect a few “stamps” for my National Parks passport, and check out a few good places to eat.

We decided on a gastronomical tour that accomplished all our objectives. So where did we eat?

• Pierce’s Pitt Bar-B-Que

• The Cheese Shop

• The Raleigh Tavern

• Picked up desserts at a colonial bakery, and did a little “home cooking” at our hotel suite.

What did we do to “walk off” all those calories?

• We enjoyed the holiday spirit all along “D.O.G. Street” and in WIlliamsburg’s Market Square

• We toured Colonial Jamestown and said hello to Pocahontas, and

• We conducted a “terrain walk” among the battlefield sites of Yorktown.

And as for Julia’s and my private tour of Colonial Williamsburg’s Duke of Gloucester Street and the William & Mary College campus. Here are a few special photos from this walk about.
