July vs May for quick midweek trip

Hi all,

I looked back a few pages and didn%26#39;t really see an answer to this, so I thought I%26#39;d ask. My apologies if this is a duplicate of a similar thread somewhere.

Anyway, we%26#39;re planning a trip for sometime this summer to Williamsburg, probably just 2-3 days, during the week since it%26#39;s difficult for me to get weekends off. And we%26#39;re trying to decide which would be the better week. May 18th or the second week in July, after the 4th. I%26#39;m not truly fond of oppressive heat, so I would think May would be better for that reason alone. But I%26#39;m unsure what the crowds would be like in comparison to each other. We%26#39;re looking to do BG and Colonial Williamsburg, but only Yorktown and Jamestown with time permitting.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Off the top of my head, I%26#39;d say May, for better weather, and also because many schools in this area don%26#39;t let out until late May/early June. Most school class trips are finished up by mid-May, so not much of a crowd issue there, either.

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately I took a look at the BG%26#39;s website and it looks like it%26#39;s not open during the week until after Memorial Day. So I guess that makes the decision for me.
