Our home base was Marriott’s Manor Club at Ford’s Colony, a vacation club property that all three of us came to love. On Friday night, we checked into a two-bedroom suite that was giving thoughtful great aunt’s house vibes more than boilerplate condo.
Our suite was clean, well-appointed and gave us the travel commodity I value most: plenty of room to spread out. With comfy beds, flat-screen TVs, and a screened-in balcony perfect for lazy afternoons, the kids’ only complaint after checking in was why we were having pizza for dinner, again! These girls actually prefer salads. The full kitchen made in-room dining a breeze. We enjoyed breakfasts in our pajamas, and orange juice in stem glasses—something we definitely don't do at home.
Every details of Marriott Manor at Ford's Colony was laced with history, including padded headboards and artwork throughout the suite.The game room—complete with pool, foosball, ping pong and multiple gaming consoles and a library of games—was a great diversion for a rainy morning. The front desk also lets you check out board games and puzzles to take back to your room—a great touch for late nights. For a quick afternoon pick-me-up, we grabbed fresh fruit smoothies from Bistro 1699 on-site. We tried all three flavors—strawberry, raspberry and mango—and they were all fresh, fruit-filled refreshers.
The girls enjoyed playing ping pong, both indoors at out.Eventually, we had to leave our little resort bubble to do what you're supposed to do: travel back in time. The drive from the Manor Club right into the heart of Colonial Williamsburg is an easy, 15-minute straight shot—about seven miles away. We spent a gorgeous morning exploring the historic grounds. The absolute highlight for the girls was the majestic Governor’s Palace. It’s grand, slightly imposing, and surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens that look straight out of a period drama. We even spent a good chunk of time trying to navigate our way through the famous hedge maze out back.

After another day of hanging out at the resort, we headed into the historic downtown which is only about five miles. It took a few minutes to hunt down a parking spot, but the hassle faded once we were on foot. The downtown area is incredibly charming and walkable, packed with local boutique shops and enticing restaurants.

We unplugged, played a ridiculous amount of games, and actually talked to each other. I’m already looking at the calendar to see when we can go back.
