We said goodbye to Virginia Beach after that scrumptious breakfast at Pocahontas Pancakes. We then headed to Williamsburg which was less than 2 hours away. We checked in to Residence Inn which was part of the Marriott group. It was my first time to stay at a Residence Inn which was billed as an “extendedContinue reading “Residence Inn Williamsburg VA”

One of the restaurants on the list, Chutzpah Deli, happened to beContinue reading “Lunch at Chutzpah Deli”
Super, Duper Healthy Lunch at Whole Foods Market
