Vacation in Virginia
Vacation Ideas

But there's always something going on in Olde Town! First Fridays feature local bands, as does Music on the Steps. The parks, located right on the Rappahannock River, offer great spots for kids to freeplay. And all of the battlefields (and small museums with information pertaining to) are amazingly preserved for your historical enjoyment!

In Olde Town, it's easy to find Virginia ham and peanuts, great entertainment, and easygoing residents. Enjoy this cool vacation idea!

Assateague has some really nice bike baths, too, and when biking, one can come across the wild ponies that live on the island. Several of the bike rental places on Chincoteague offer tandem bike rentals, so you can take a bicycle built for two all over the place (my brother and I used to always share one, while my mom and dad would share another).

There are a ton of great seafood restaurants on Chincoteague, and all sorts of shops that sell salt water taffy and fudge. So, in summary, all the best things about a beach vacation, but without the crowds and bustle of commercial beaches are at Assateague Island National Park.

Everybody can come here and have a good time, as did I.I was down all the park all day with friends and family, after which we ended up staying at a nearby Days Inn, we then returned the next on our 2 day pass.

We all agreed that it's so wonderful to be able to wake up to the smell of the ocean every morning. The people who work in the shops, and the other vacationers were very nice and courteous. There is a Jet Ski rental at the boardwalk so we rented some jet skis and had a ball. This was loads of fun. We were able to go out about a half mile from shore so that was big adventure for us.

They also have bike rentals that you can use to ride up and down the boardwalk. Bike riding is a great way to explore and it's a lot less tiring than walking. Plus it's just plain fun. This is a great experience. Overall this was one of the best vacations that we had ever taken. I highly recommend Virginia Beach if you are looking for family vacation spots in Virginia.

We ate a nice little restaurant and walked around a while and took in all the sights. There are people from all over that stop in there and everyone seems to be having an enjoyable time. The rooms were clean and the staff we encountered was very friendly. Stopping there broke the monotony of our long drive and made the rest of the trip fly by. It is definitely somewhere I will be stopping at again this summer.
