VIRGINIA
Virginia is for Lovers
of Family Fun.
Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville.
When it comes to family togetherness, Virginia beckons you to share the journey as you explore its majesty,
the stories of its people, its history, its folk
arts, and its array of attractions. A vacation
in Virginia is more than just a checklist of
activities; it’s an opportunity to reconnect
your family with the passions that bring you
closer together.
See the past come alive in your child’s
eyes as you explore over four centuries of
fascinating history. Discover where the first
permanent English settlers originally set
foot on American soil. Step quietly through
Civil War battlefields, remembering when
the North and the South battled for victory.
Explore the homes of George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, and Robert E. Lee., and
learn the true fate of Washington’s famous
cherry tree.
For outdoor adventure, splash through
the ocean’s waves and soak in the summer
sun among the kaleidoscope of beach towels
dotting the shoreline. Immerse your family
in the tranquility offered by Mother Nature,
who generously blessed Virginia with more
than 2,500 stunning miles of scenic drives
and state parks. With activities for everyone,
Virginia welcomes adventurers of all ages.
Paddle along the calm waters of the Eastern Shore by kayak or hike to the peak of a
mountain vista, overlooking the patchwork
scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains. You’ve
found paradise when the only sounds are the
trickle of a mountaintop stream and the tiny
chirp of an eastern bluebird. Or, simply revel
in the simplicity of nature’s gifts as you crab
on Assateaque Island, with roaming wild ponies as your neighbors.
Virginia unveils a world of adventure
and possibilities year-round. Time stands
still as you reconnect, rediscover and renew your love for family. For your next family vacation, Live Passionately in Virginia. Call
