OBX: Williamsburg and Getting Home

We decided to visit Colonial Williamsburg on our way home from the Outerbanks.  Although a culturally enriching experience, it did not go exactly as planned.  I should probably back up and mention that our brakes had been squealing intermittently the entire week.  We had considered having them checked while in Duck but decided against it […]
