The drive from Alexandria, Virginia was scheduled to take 2 hours and 45 minutes but due to multiple car accidents, it took a little over 4 hours.
Never a good sign when traffic is so backed up that people get out of their vehicles.
We still made it in time to walk around Colonial Williamsburg and have dinner at Aromas Restaurant.
We chose to sit outdoors at Aromas Restaurant since the weather was so beautiful. Aromas is a casual restaurant with a good vegetarian selection. John had the Shrimp and Grits which was particularly yummy. Logan ate a Portobello mushroom burger with pesto. I had the Thai Vegetable Wrap with delicious mango pieces. If you’re in Williamsburg, I highly recommend Aromas as a casual, delicious and not too expensive place to eat. The cost for the three of us was under $30 including a bottle of water and a coffee.

Planning the rest of our visit
We had a chance to drive on the gorgeous Colonial Parkway. No dividing lines!

So glad we finally made it to Williamsburg. We’ve been planning to come to the area a couple of times but have had to cancel for various reasons. Tomorrow we’re heading to Historic Jamestowne which is the first permanent English settlement in the US.
