As for amusement parks I'd go with Kings Dominion too ^
Thanks, fbgdavidson...forgot about the Outlets...LOTS of people, but we enjoy taking a look every now and then....good prices on just about anything you can name and Europeans would think they had wandered into bargain heaven.
Thought I might give some help to the OP with respect to a place to stay. The Marriott at Kingsmill is good, not fabulous, but you will probably have a nice stay. Also you might want to enquire about staying in a colonial tavern....check with CW resevations. The Hospitality House is just across from the College and has a great location, but can be spotty. Have been to many weddings ( my children went to school there so this is a relatively young crowd we're speaking of ) where this was the place for wedding party and guests.
