What to do in Williamsburg, Virginia, September 17 to 21?

My husband and I are visiting Williamsburg next week, Sunday through Thursday (9/17-21). We are 24 and 30. We have tickets to Colonial Williamsburg (annual subscriptions, so that we can come and go as we please for week), tickets for Jamestown-Yorktown (one day), and a planned Williamsburg Winery Tour. (Busch Gardens and King's Dominion are both closed during the week.) Do enough to keep us busy all week? Is there anything cool to do in the area? Are there any special events happening this week?

I work here in Williamsburg at a local hotel. As mentioned above, Colonial Williamsburg still does tours and is an incredible place, certainly not something you want to miss. The winery tour does not last very long, but it is very nice. There are several things that family you could do it too. Virginia Beach is just one hour, and it is a lot of fun. On the night of 20 here at Kimball Theatre in Colonial Williamsburg is concert crystal, which is incredible. You can get tickets right at the door. Artists playing instruments of glass that make sounds quite unique, it also by hand, so you get to try your luck playing singing bowls crystal and a musical glass sculpture. The pottery factory is very close Williamsburg, near the factory outlets, where you can get some great deals! At night there are a couple of good dinner theaters. The "Mystery Dinner Playhouse "at the Ramada Inn & Suites, and the" Haunted Dinner Theater "(which is hilarious) to the Buffet Seafood Captain George. There are so many things to do here, I guarantee you will not get bored. Hope this helps, have fun!
