| Bentley: Floating head restraint anyone? |
Up the road from NMS-North is the historic town of Williamsburg, which you might know is an awesome spot to visit and experience life in Colonial America in lots of houses, shops, buildings, interactive activities, and lots more. Most people that visit Williamsburg buy one of the admission packages that admits you to all the cool exhibits and buildings, and it's worth doing if you haven't! On the other hand, I'd like to point out that the Colonial Williamsburg is really a little village that you can just walk into and see without paying anything! You can't go into all the shops and whatnot, but you can have a pretty good time just walking around for free. Plus, right next door is Williamsburg of today, chock full of restaurants, shops, the College of William and Mary (good art museum too), and all the modern amenities.
Besides all that, Sunday June 11th was the annual Williamsburg Invitational Car Show for charity, and this year's featured make was Bentley. Without any further ado, here's a look at the range of automobiles on display.
