Question: Audrey Putman asks: We are headed to Williamsburg VA Sept. 12-19. What will the weather be like? Attractions and activities still available after Labor Day?

Answer: AAA senior writer Nancy Woodard says: In September, it is still seasonably warm in Williamsburg with temperatures averaging 74 degrees during the day and a bit cooler in the evening. Attractions in the historic area are open throughout the year. When you arrive in Williamsburg, be sure to stop first at the Visitor's Center to get a copy of This Week which will provide you with the most current operating hours for the historic attractions and a guide to the planned programs scheduled throughout your visit. You may also purchase your tickets here and catch the shuttle bus to the exhibits and the museums.

Just a short drive from Williamsburg along the Colonial Parkway – a AAA scenic byway – you can visit Jamestown and Yorktown, each boasting its own array of historic attractions. From Williamsburg, it's eight miles to Jamestown and just about 15 miles to Yorktown. Also a short drive from Williamsburg is Busch Gardens Europe which is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday during your stay. This 100-acre themed adventure park celebrates the cultures of England, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy and Ireland. It has more than 50 thrill rides and attractions, nine main stage shows, an adventure area for kids, eateries and shops.
