It's not like a timeshare pitch, friend has a non-refundable reservation and asked if I wanted it.
The first two responses have history stuff as the key selling points for this place, they're too young to get much out of that and the 7 hours would be too much.
You can take young kids anywhere and they'll have fun. What type of stuff are you looking for them?
It's a decent size metropolitan area. I'm sure you can find whatever you want. There's nothing super awesome or special about the area, though.
Yeah, 7 days would be a lot. If you like road trips, the beach, free lodging, and going new places, I don't see a reason not to go. Like I said, the area will have all the normal stuff to do in any city. Things are a bit spread out, though. For example, if you want to do Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, that's about an hour away without traffic. It would be a good way to spend one day, but not sure if you'd want to make that trip twice since it would be over 2 hours round trip.
I don't think the complaints relate to beaches per se, but just Virginia Beach. I think if you asked most people that lived in the driving distance area for a list of best places in the area to go to the beach, most would say the Outer Banks, some of the beaches in Delaware, Ocean City, MD (and possibly others) before getting down to Virginia Beach.
Pierces=overrated. My friends own VBC, great place/beer. Lots of good beer in the area. Commonwealth Brewing in VB is incredible. Reaver Beach too.
Yet millions (literally) visit VB every year.
I live an hour away and never go there (oceanfront). Drove down the strip once not too long ago (off season) and that's been the closest I've come in decades. I'm not really a beach person though so there is that.
I met Robby last month at a wedding in Cincinnati. Seems like a good dude. I'm up in the metro DC area and don't make it down south very often but want to swing by VBC at some point.
Robby is great. And he's loving life. He and co-owner Chris make a great team. Did he wear his VBC shirt to the wedding?
Kidding...I know he wouldn't do that. Maybe. Wouldn't shock me if he wore a tux. He's the great promoter though.
I wasn't a fan either - but they do have a decent outlet mall if you like shopping.Williamsburg is terrible! Stay away!
I would go if someone offered me a free week there. Virginia Beach is a little over 4 1/2 hours from me here in NC.
Was just in Orange Beach Alabama a month ago. The only time we left the beach was to get beer and food. Went out to eat a few times and hit a couple happy hours but that is about it. Even then we never drove more than 10 minutes.
Ha, no but he was wearing it around the city. I think him and some of his buddies hit a couple breweries before the nuptials. When I met him it was a bit later at the reception and I was hammered. I think I actually misheard him when we were introduced and thought his first name is Will or WilleyDid he wear his VBC shirt to the wedding?
That's our "go to" beach. We get groceries once we get there, eat breakfast and lunch in most days and go out for dinner. We are good for a trip to the go-kart track though.Da Guru said:
