I'm heading to Lynchburg Va. on Christmas day to see the kids. I expect to be there about a week.

Does anyone have a "don't miss it" woodworking destination????

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Yeah, Williamsburg. It's a pretty good truck from Lynchburg, but it's the don't miss WW attraction in the state.

It's about a 2 hour drive each way (my brother and sister went to Liberty University in Lynchburg).

Caron,

I'll come over and clean out your shop. Don't mind the moving truck and the four guys to do the lifting. I promise it will be "clean" when we leave!:D

About 130 miles, as the crow flies.

I'll definitely second the Williamsburg nomination if you have the time. There's plenty to hold the interest of everyone.

We have a friend who works for Colonial Williamsburg and lives in one of the historic houses on Duke of Gloucester street, we visit her the day after Christmas every year and the place is jumping (my daughters still don't understand why all the strangers are peering through the windows :eek:)

If you're a history buff drive the extra 20 miles past Williamsburg to visit the Yorktown battlefields (my old stomping grounds). Take the Colonial National Historic Parkway along the York River, its worth the extra 5 minutes.

Your daughter probably already knows this, but the Drowsy Poet was always my favorite hangout when we hit Lynchburg (not that there's too much competition for students who don't want to risk demerits :p)
