Three Full Days in Virginia Beach

After spending over a year without being able to travel or fear of traveling due to COVID-19 we decided to take a short family trip during Spring Break. We packed our bags and drove down six hours to Virginia Beach. We arrived and got settled at our hotel Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront. We took a walk by the beach and went to have dinner at Catch 31 Fish House & Bar. We loved how kid friendly it was and how delicious the food was. 

Day One

Our first full day started off with a trip to the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center. My son had a love and hate relationship with the Komodo dragon. He thought it was intriguing but was also afraid of it.


There was so much to see from the turtles to the sharks, sting rays and sea lions. Kids and adults alike will enjoy it.


After the aquarium we took a walk on the boardwalk and found some horses. Virginia Beach OBX Horseback was allocated at the beach for reservation for horseback rides along the beach. Unfortunately we were unaware and they were fully booked so we couldn’t ride the horses. They did allow us to feed the horses and pet them which my son loved. We spent hours feeding and petting the different horses. 

Day Two

We started our second full day enjoying the beach. The water was still cold in March so we did not get in but my son enjoyed wetting his feet and playing in the sand. We loved how safe we felt during COVID; there weren’t many people out especially since we opted for a five day weekday trip rather than weekend trip and everyone wore a mask. 

We then headed to The Adventure Park at Virginia Aquarium where we went zip lining and climbing. It was my sons first time and it was very safe. My son had a great time fasting his fears. 

Day Three

Our last full day began at the indoor pool. The hotel typically has a Skybar which was closed due to COVID-19 and outdoor pool that was also closed due to the low temperature. It appears that this hotel would be great for the summer especially when all the restrictions have been lifted. 


To end all the fun we went to Flipper McCoys arcade. 



We drove home the next day and enjoyed the ride back up. We would definitely return to enjoy the clean beaches and outdoor pool. Some places we didn’t make it to due to the weather and availability during COVID were: 
Oceans Breeze Waterpark
Atlantic Fun Park 
Jungle Golf of Virginia Beach
King Neptune's Mini Golf


You can save the itinerary for your future trip to Virginia Beach.

Trip to Paris

  Three Full Days in Paris  In January 2020 my friend and I took a trip to Paris from London. We booked a high speed train which was rather comfortable and left us in the middle of the city. Day One We began our first day by visiting the Louvre Museum which was absolutely gorgeous inside and out. It is a museum you can spend all day in. From the mosaic ceilings to the statues and the paintings there is so much to admire. Of course we made a stop to see the Mona Lisa . Be warned there was a line and a time limit for each visitor to see and take a picture of the Mona Lisa from a distance. Our next stop was the Catacombs of Paris . We descended down into the catacombs and with an audio tour we learned all about the remains that were buried under the city of Paris. Not a scary tour if that’s what you’re expecting but of course they are real remains and there are countless skulls everywhere.  Day Two Our next day started off with a tour of the Eiffel Tower . We went all the w...

  Three Full Days in London   In January 2020 (before COVID-19 caused the world to stop) my friend and I traveled to London. Our trip began with a long flight from New York to Heathrow Airport. After making our way to our Airbnb we got some food then planned the rest of our three days before heading to our next destination.  Day One We started our day bright and early with a cup of coffee and a trip to The British Museum . One great thing to know about visiting London is that all the museums are free and there are plenty to choose from. We only visited two during our stay but the Charles Dickens Museum, The National Gallery, Victoria and Albert Museum and Science Museum are other interesting museums to check out. If you love museums as much as I do you’ll love the British Museum where you can see the Rosetta Stone and the remains of Cleopatra.  We then went on to the London eye but we happen to go while undergoing maintenance. We weren’t able to get on during ...
