Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

The oldest naval port in the United States that offers guided tours.
We are a military family. The base is huge. It is the largest military base around. You can take a tour around via boat. Many photo opportunities to take. Magnificent ships!

A hidden gem of access to hikes along the river. High above the palisades. It is often overlooked. Access only by northern traveling side of George Washington parkway
