This Spring Break, Explore Virginia!

That coveted time of year is just around the corner. I am, of course, referring to spring break. So many people in the Northern Virginia area know and love the area in which they live, be it Annandale or Alexandria, but so few actually know what else their home state has to offer. This spring break, why not take some time to explore the rest of Virginia?

Whether you are new to the Northern Virginia area or have lived here for years, you’ve probably noticed that most of our region’s residents are proud to be from our state. It’s understandable. We’re one of the most historically rich states in the union with a high quality of life and desirable climate. We offer the perfect mixture of small-town Southern charm and urban amenities that most other areas across the US only dream of. Why not show some pride in your state this spring break? Here are a few statewide attractions you can enjoy while the kids are off school. It’d be fun to make a road trip out of some of these ideas!

Hit a theme park! Busch Gardens in Williamsburg and Kings Dominion in Richmond both have fun-filled, family friendly rollercoasters. If you’re looking for a more aquatic adventure, Great Wolf Lodge Waterpark in Williamsburg offers some indoor water fun.

Enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Virginia State Parks are some of the best in the country. They offer everything from hiking and boating to fishing and wildlife. There are even a few caverns that offer some gorgeous stalactites and stalagmites that the youngsters will love.

Discover a little bit of history. There’s no question that Virginia is one of the most historical states in the union. From Mount Vernon to Jamestown settlement to Colonial Williamsburg, the abundance of historical attractions in our state can give anyone a strong idea of what life was like in our part of the country when the colonists first settled upon it.

Visit our nation’s capitol. One of the biggest benefits of living in NOVA is that we are a hop, skip and a jump away from the thrills of Washington DC. The amount of attractions here could keep you entertained all week long! From the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials to the Capitol Building to Arlington Cemetery to the White House, there are plenty of places to go and things to do if you’re willing to make the drive into the city.

These are a just a few of the many statewide attractions you can enjoy this spring break! Feel free to explore the many amazing communities in the Northern Virginia area, too! Each has something special and unique to offer. As always, contact me if you have questions about buying or selling a home in Northern Virginia. I hope to hear from you soon!
