My spouse and I traveled to Charlottesville, Virginia for the Memorial Day weekend holiday in late May 2011. On Friday evening, we drove from Allentown to Charlottesville and checked into the Omni before having a very late dinner at Bang! restaurant. On Saturday, we toured nearby Monticello before eating lunch at Hamilton's at First and Main on the downtown (pedestrian only) mall. Afterward, we took a public bus to the University of Virginia campus, where we walked around on our own self-guided tour. For dinner, we walked to nearby L'Etoile restaurant. On Sunday, we visited Montpelier Plantation before driving to Front Royal and checking into the Hampton Inn. Our purpose in staying at Front Royal was to dine at the Inn at Little Washington, which was a bit of a letdown, although we loved our time in Charlottesville. On the way home, we stopped at Antietam Battlefield, where we participated in a (very hot!) car tour of the sights.
