Things to know if you are visiting Williamsburg this summer.

There are many things to know if you are visiting Williamsburg this summer. Last summer I posted a blog about the best time to visit Busch Gardens and water country. I noted that there were less people at the two Williamsburg theme parks because the it was cool and overcast.

This list of things you need to know if you are visiting Williamsburg may help you deal with the heat:

• Freeze water bottles and carry them in a tote or backpack.
• If your schedule allows it leave during the middle of the day and come back in the evening.
  
• Rest in the shade at least once an hour if possible.
• Ride the Roman Rapids and the log flume.
• Wear sunscreen, a hat and cool loose clothing that breathes.
• The refreshment lines can be long, so plan ahead if you need to purchase something to drink.
• If possible leave during the middle of the day and come back in the evening.

Many of the attractions in Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown are outside so be prepared for more heat!
