We are flying to DC this summer and then I'm thinking of renting a car and driving to Virginia Beach area and North Carolina. We have a host/tour guide for DC ....but what about Virgina Beach and N. Carolina? Anyone familiar? Anything that's a must to see when there?

Crazy people live in Virginia Beach; and watch out for falling jets.After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned. -

That one already fell. Go to the beach in Virginia Beach and where are you going in NC? I had a good time at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville once, but that's probably because I was busy getting married. We went to Chimney Rock for that. It was a long time ago, but I'd like to believe Chimney Rock is still there.Originally posted by mraynrand View Post"Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

Well...a little story behind this trip...kind of embarrassing actually and a bit corny but oh well. There were 3 "firsts" I always wanted to experience with my kids. I wanted to be with them the first time they went to Lambeau Field to see the Packers play and we've done that and it was a great trip (all 3 of them), I want to be with them the first time they fly (which I guess is unusual this day and age for someone their ages to have not flown) and I want to be with them the first time they see the ocean (....again probably unusual they haven't at their age) But the old saying is true....time flies!!! Man, is that true! I wish I would have had the money when they were younger, but I didn't and the last years it's been really hard to plan around their sports. And believe me, the HS coaches get downright pissy if they miss stuff. So this summer is our last chance before my daughter goes off to college so I'm just going to plan it and if the baseball coach sits my son for a few games so be it!!
So any suggestions are much appreciated....and I'm not stuck on Virginia Beach/N. Carolina. Anything within driving distance from DC is cool with me as long we hit an ocean! (and exciting things for teens is a plus!)

That's pretty cool 007. I can say that I've been with my kids for each of those firsts, with the exception of lambeau. They haven't been there yet. My kids are a bit younger than yours. 4 and 7.
I've not been to virgina beach, but I am in the process of planning our trip to Maine. We've been up there quite a bit. its an every other year kinda trip. My kids have only been there once but loved it and have begged to go back. We rent a cabin on the ocean and explore the town. (we always go somwhere different). this year for an added adventure, we are thinking of driving! I'm sure that will be the highlite of the week!Comment

Not sure about the teen thing.....but the eastern Shore of Maryland was pretty cool. My wife is from there so I have visited a few times. DC is fun....the monuments and museums are great of course. One of the best beer bars in the east as well.

And yet we've never managed to get to one of the best beer bars in the east, though we've been talking about it for years...Originally posted by Freak Out View PostNot sure about the teen thing.....but the eastern Shore of Maryland was pretty cool.

So I remember there being an amazing resturant there called the Carnivore. It is a Brazillian BBQ place where they bring out course after course of meat on swords. If you want some they will cut it onto your plate. Go very hungry and walk out with two or three days worth of food in your stomach!!! (It may have been Myrtle Beach as well sorry if it was).All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.
