What to pack

What October feels like

The trees along the Colonial Parkway turn, the reenactment season runs at full tilt, and Howl-O-Scream fills Busch Gardens most nights. Yorktown Day on the nineteenth brings out the full ceremonial works, fifes, muskets and all.

Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
