Known as the birthplace of a nation because of the original colony in Jamestown, Virginia has always been prized for its diversity, beauty, and culture. However, many visitors wonder how to make the most of their next stay. Here are three fun things you should consider doing during your next trip to Virginia, and why so many people are looking to buy a home here. 

Vacation Plan Ideas for Trips to Virginia

1. Visit the Virginia Beach Oceanfront

Few things compare to laying on a beach and letting the surf wash over your feet. Virginia Beach Oceanfront is the perfect place to let kids frolic during the day, relax in the afternoon, and take romantic walks at sunset. While there, you can even enjoy a fun boardwalk featuring everything from fun family-friendly activities to excellent dining. 

2. Check Out Colonial Williamsburg

One of the most inspiring things about Virginia is the state’s importance in American history, so soak up all the information you can while visiting Williamsburg, VA. To make it easy for visitors to understand and appreciate Williamsburg’s contributions as the country formed, the colonial capital of Williamsburg has been restored to its original charm.

Visitors can explore 18th-century buildings, eat a meal where George Washington dined, and visit restored apothecaries to see how medicine was administered hundreds of years ago. You can also enjoy self-guided tours of binderies, brickyards, and colonial gardens, making it easy to enjoy fun family memories. Williamsburg is also a great place to start looking to buy a home, since the area is sought-after and offers a great commute. 

3. Enjoy Shenandoah National Park 

Fortunately, you don’t have to buy a home to soak in the gorgeous sights offered by Shenandoah National Park. In addition to offering scenic outlooks along the Appalachian Trail, Shenandoah National Park also offers the interesting Byrd Visitor Center, giving visitors the chance to learn more about the area.
