Once we got deep into our research\, we realized you could get better pricing on several locations via the National Park Pass and/or using your homeschool association membership card. We also worked diligently to get group pricing at a resort right near Colonial Williamsburg\, but they would not agree to what we wanted for a large group. Therefore\, everyone is on their own for lodging and meals. To help you with your planning\, we have compiled a list of local hotels HERE. \nHere is our Finalized Itinerary: \nDay 1\, Friday\, 03/15/24 – Travel Day. Optional Lunch stop at Guilford Courthouse National Military Park\nDay 2\, Saturday\, 3/16/24 – Jamestown Settlement (morning) and Historic Jamestown National Park (afternoon)\nDay 3\, Sunday\, 03/17/24 – Colonial Williamsburg – Part 1 (this location needs 2 full days to fully explore it)\nDay 4\, Monday\, 03/18/24 – Colonial Williamsburg – Part 2\nDay 5\, Tuesday\, 03/19/24 – American Revolution Museum (morning) and Yorktown Battlefield (afternoon)\nDay 6\, Wednesday\, 03/20/24 – Travel Home \nYou can find additional details\, including pricing HERE. There is much flexibility within this trip for families with children of a variety of ages! If you are teaching American History this year or next\, you can use this trip as a large part of an honors addendum! \nJust a note\, to get the best Colonial Williamsburg pricing (educational group discount) you do need to be part of our group. Payment must be made at sign up time. However\, refunds are allowed for extenuating circumstances until February 23\, 2024. You are welcome to invite friends and family members\, but please sign them up under your name. \nThe following payment\, which is fully refundable until February 23\, 2024\, is required for registration. This payment includes Registration Fee (one per family) and the 2-Day Pass to Colonial Williamsburg.

Once we got deep into our research\, we realized you could get better pricing on several locations via the National Park Pass and/or using your homeschool association membership card. We also worked diligently to get group pricing at a resort right near Colonial Williamsburg\, but they would not agree to what we wanted for a large group. Therefore\, everyone is on their own for lodging and meals. To help you with your planning\, we have compiled a list of local hotels HERE. \nHere is our  Proposed Itinerary: \nDay 1\, Friday\, 03/15/24 – Travel Day. Optional Lunch stop at Guilford Courthouse National Military Park\nDay 2\, Saturday\, 3/16/24 – Jamestown Settlement (morning) and Historic Jamestown National Park (afternoon)\nDay 3\, Sunday\, 03/17/24 – Colonial Williamsburg – Part 1 (this location needs 2 full days to fully explore it)\nDay 4\, Monday\, 03/18/24 – Colonial Williamsburg – Part 2\nDay 5\, Tuesday\, 03/19/24 – Yorktown Battlefield (morning) and American Revolution Museum (afternoon)\nDay 6\, Wednesday\, 03/20/24 – Travel Home or Optional Activity: Busch Gardens \nYou can find additional details\, including pricing HERE. There is much flexibility within this trip for families with children of a variety of ages! If you are teaching American History this year or next\, you can use this trip as a large part of an honors addendum! \nJust a note\, to get the best Colonial Williamsburg pricing (educational group discount) you do need to be part of our group. We will be collecting payments at a later time. \nThis trip has a lot of details that would be impossible to include in one post\, and we anticipate many questions; therefore\, we will be holding a virtual Google meet on November 2nd @ 7:45pm for those interested in this trip. We will go over additional details and answer any related questions. Registration and payment deadline (for Colonial Williamsburg portion) will be posted after we hold our virtual meeting. \nPlease RSVP below for the virtual Google meet.
