I’ve always thought of Greater Williamsburg to be family friendly, but I’ve never had the chance to explore it as a 20-something without children. That is, until recently. The kind folks over at Visit Williamsburg invited me to experience Greater Williamsburg as an adult without kids, and it did not disappoint. If you’re looking for your next girl’s getaway or couples trip, here’s why Greater Williamsburg should be on your list.
