Getting Cabin Fever This Summer? Head To Virginia Beach!

Summer vacation is in full swing! As a mom, I have to admit, I am already going more than a little bonkers hearing "Mom, I'm BORED!" from my oldest child. We are a one income family, and can't afford any extravagant trips to the islands or to Disney World. But somewhere we CAN go is Virginia Beach! We happen to already live in the Commonwealth of Virginia, so this makes for a very easy 3 hour drive for us! (If not less, depending how much lead-foot-itis my husband is displaying at the time.)

Did you know that Virginia Beach is within a day's drive for 2/3 of the US population? This makes for a very convenient summer getaway for families. And with tons of hotels right on the beach and a great boardwalk complete with games and attractions, every member of the family will be entertained!

Here are 10 reasons why I would love to head to Virginia Beach this summer!

  1. Sandcastles. I can bring all of my Melissa & Doug sand toys and build great sand scenes with my children. Talk about fun summer memories!
  2. The food! There are tons of wonderful restaurants in Virginia Beach serving food to accommodate all tastes. I don't eat seafood at all, but my husband would love indulging in some freshly caught seafood!
  3. Speaking of fish...I LOVE fishing! And in Virginia Beach, you can plan a deep sea fishing excursion!
  4. Sunsets on the water. Enough said!
  5. My husband and I have been talking about renewing our vows and having a "real" wedding for some time now. Virginia Beach would be a great wedding destination!
  6. Going hiking at one of the many parks and outdoor wildlife refuges. Some even include beachfront views! This would be great for a family picnic!
  7. I would LOVE to get a spa treatment at one of the fabulous spas in Virginia Beach. What a way to top off an already awesome vacation!
  8. The nightlife. Provided I had a sitter, I would love to check out some of the beach front bars with my husband!
  9. I would love to take my kids to the aquarium in Virginia Beach to let them witness the beauty of sea life up close and personal!
  10. Shopping! Virginia Beach offers tons of great stores and boutiques to help unwind after a long day swimming and romping in the sand!

These are just a few of the many reasons to check out Virginia Beach with your family this summer! Only 4 hours south of the DC Metropolitan Area, this makes a fun and very accessible family destination! Do you have any vacation plans? I'd love to hear about them!
