Popular destinations in this area include
Virginia Beach -- with miles of beaches, amusement park, water park, and other attractions -- and
Colonial Williamsburg, where history comes to life thanks to life actors and volunteers who dress in period costumes and evoke the days of the Revolutionary period in America. Families visiting Colonial Williamsburg can also have fun at the Busch Gardens Williamsburg theme park.
West Virginia, meanwhile, is a great place for white-water rafting. And Washington DC, of course, is a top spot for sightseeing including the free Smithsonian museums.
