Virginia Beach Family Vacation

Posted on May 8, 2009

Virginia
Beach family vacation is certainly not meant to be constrained to a
dip in the sea and sunbathing on the shore. There is an element of
excitement that reverberates in the very air you breathe; no, it’s
not just the salty spray. In fact, when you’re done with the sand
castle and shell collecting routine, the fun has just begun.

Take
off to the First Landing State Park for an extended version of your
Virginia Beach family vacation. Get re-acquainted with nature as you
go hiking, biking, boating or simply strolling around its vast
grounds. What would really get your kids all excited would be a visit
to the Aquarium & Marine Science Center. You might not want to
pet a sting ray or touch a shark, but don’t assume your kids feel the
same. You’ll be amazed to see the world through the eyes of a crab.
Talk about perspectives.

Let
your Virginia Beach family vacation move on to Ocean Breeze Water
Park for more fun of the splashing variety. NAUTICUS National
Maritime Center would be of immense interest to kids, especially when
they feast their eyes on a honest-to-goodness battleship, the USS
Wisconsin. The towering presence of the Cape Henry Lighthouse is one
for the camera; so go prepared. The view from here is astounding and
so is the history behind this cast-iron structure. There’s more here
to add to the thrill of a Virginia Beach family vacation.

Lend
an aesthetic touch to your Virginia Beach family vacation. The
Norfolk Botanical Garden can only be described as a sight for sore
eyes with its abundance of azalea blooms, roses, and more in spring
time. Keeping eternal vigil here are figures of such eminent
personalities as Rembrandt, Da Vinci, Rubens and others of similar
stature. While at Norfolk, consider a visit to the Chrysler Museum of
Art to check out the fine collection of art works ranging from
ancient to modern and everything in between. Here’s your chance on
your Virginia Beach family vacation to introduce your children to the
finest of paintings from Monet to Warhol under one roof.

Neighboring
cities with plenty to offer a Virginia Beach family vacation are
Hampton Roads with a wealth of war history, Chesapeake with its
awesome Bay Bridge that takes over 20 minutes to cross, and Fairfax
with its profusion of quaint restaurants. You might want to check out
the exotic island of Chincoteague, famous for its oysters and clams ,
while you’re here on your Virginia Beach family vacation.
