When I hear Virginia, automatically I think of Virginia Beach. In fact, every time it snows or a bitter wind blows, my mind will wander to a warmer place. Memories of family fun on the beach warm my heart for a moment, but I am left wanting more; to make more memories, to experience more ocean side adventures, to take in more of the sights and sounds of Virginia Beach.
My family loves to attend festivals. We like to browse the merchandise for sale, take in the displays and demonstrations and of course sample all of the food! Virginia Beach is the perfect spot for my family because the city hosts more than 25 festivals to appeal to people of all interests. (There is a Beer Festival, a Neptune Festival and a Kite festival to name a few.)
My family has visited Virginia Beach several times. When we went in the fall, the town was quiet and charming, but many shops and attractions were not open due to the season. We returned in the summer and felt like we had arrived in a completely different city. The lively vibe or the city was intoxicating and our days were action packed and brimming with fun.
On a bleak winter day the thought of heading to Virginia Beach for a day spent by the sea with the sun on my face, or a day spent at one of the amusement parks feeling the wind in my hair followed by shopping and an exceptional dinner sounds on par with hitting the lottery.
When was the last time you left your troubles behind and headed to Virginia Beach? What is your favorite thing to do in Virginia Beach? I can’t wait to hear from you.
OMG dolphins! The view looks beautiful! I bet the festivals and food was awesome! I never been here before, but from your post it sounds quite like a journey!
I haven’t been to Virginia beach in many years,,the time I did go it was really nice,they have a lot for kids to do there and the weather is nice,id like to go back and take the grandkids
I’ve never been to Virginia Beach before but it looks really nice! Maybe that will be one of our family destinations in the next few years.
Here through a-z. Never been to Virginia Beach, but we enjoy HIlton Head alot. I did just recently book a friend a vacation in Virginia Beach and she’ll be heading there in the next couple of weeks, am anxious to see how she likes it. Great photos! Like you, I think sun and beach evertime the cold wind blows, snow falls etc.
One day I would love to go there. I have never been and it looks beautiful
That’s practically my back yard. I love living in the Virginia Beach area, though the traffic does drive me to road rage. It is the best place to be. 🙂
It looks so nice! I had no idea that there were dolphins at Virginia Beach!! I’m going to pin this to my travel board.
I visited Virginia Beach when I was younger. I can’t wait for my boys to be old enough to go visit.
what a beautiful beach, that’s awesome that the dolphin come up so close!
We don’t travel very often and I’ve never been to Virginia Beach. It looks like a really nice place to visit! I can imagine the difference between going in the fall vs. the summer would be like you mentioned. We went to Myrtle Beach in October one year. LOVED it cause it was so calm and peaceful. Felt like the beach was our own private beach, LOL!
This is on my list of places to visit!! Can’t wait to go.
We have never really been to the east coast much before. I think that Virginia Beach would be a great place to visit. It is so pretty there.
I would love to visit Virginia Beach. We often pass by on our way to Florida but haven’t found the time to stop yet.
