Virginia Travel
by Fruzsina Csery
Virginia - named after Queen Elizabeth I of England, who was known
as the Virgin Queen - resides in the southern part of United States
with greatly varying geography. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to
the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains. It is one of the country's
most scenic States. From the amazing Blue Ridge Mountains to the
sandy beaches on the coast to the vivid activity in its cities, Virginia
has much to offer. It is a great place to live, the state has a growing
real estate market.
Richmond, Virginia's capitol, was founded in 1607 and is located
centrally - a convenient distance from many of the Commonwealth's
sites. The Richmond metropolitan area is home to approximately one
million citizens and is described by Style Magazine as "a beautiful and
graceful southern city, that it is hopelessly mired in tradition, that it is a
vibrant center of commerce and arts." Richmond, the capital of the
Confederacy in the Civil War, has numerous fine old buildings and
cultural options.
Virginia is perhaps the most historic of all the 50 states. Some of the
most important events in American history took place here. It was one
of the first places to have live history reenactments. In Northern
Virginia, you can visit the homes of George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, George Mason, Robert E. Lee, James Monroe, and many
other prominent figures in American history. If you go to Arlington
National Cemetery, you'll walk among headstones that chronicle
American history and you have opportunity to remember and honor
the nation's war heroes. In the Visitors Center you'll find maps,
guidebooks, exhibits, and information services that include grave
locations. Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown (the birthplace of
the USA) are three of Virginia's most historic sites, don't miss them if
you are interested in American history. Shenandoah National Park
lies high above the classic American panorama, 300 square miles
stretched out along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a precious
reminder of the great hardwood forest that once blanketed the
northeastern United States. This area is full of trails for biking and
hiking or even a nice drive along the Blue Ridge mountains.
The oceanfront of Virginia Beach has many things to do and discover.
The hotels are directly on the beach here, and all of the junk shops
are set back on the street. This leaves pleasant views directly from
many of the hotels on the beach. There are some nice beaches
nearby that are much less crowded. There are also a lot of great
restaurants and stores at the oceanfront.
Don't forget to visit the East Coast's pretty beach: Virginia Beach.
Touted by the Guiness Book of World Records as the "Longest
Pleasure Beach," Virginia Beach is a family-friendly travel destination,
it offers the classic beach vacation. The Virginia Aquarium & Marine
Science Center is the state's largest and one of the most-visited
aquariums in the nation, it should not be missed.
