Virginia

Virginia may be for lovers, but it is up to you to define what kind of lovers. History lovers will love the historical value of war reenactments that occur here. More major battles during the Civil War took place in Virginia, the Capital of the Confederacy, than in any other state. Reenactment troops invite you to witness the following battles, ask questions and/or participate in camp life of the Civil War soldiers and their families.

This year also marks the 225th anniversary of the Siege of Yorktown and the battle that ended the Revolutionary War at the very site where it all happened in Virginia.

Nature lovers will appreciate the diversity of Virginia. Beautiful Virginia has the Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountain ranges to the west, the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay to the east, and the green rolling hills of the Piedmont in between. Wherever you go, be sure to bring your camera for some of the most spectacular seasonal backdrops you will ever see.

Bargain lovers will appreciate the deals available throughout Virginia. Shopping is one of the main reasons people visit Virginia, from factory outlets for bargain hunters to craft shops featuring famous artists and local crafters. Virginia’s country roads are dotted with antique shops and auctions where treasures from many eras can still be found at flea market prices.

If you love to travel with your family, we can offer you a fun filled adventure not soon forgotten. Virginia is a great place for children and their families to explore. Besides the fun of amusement parks, museums, and one-of-a-kind places to visit, Virginia is rich in history and tradition.
