Any ATOTers from around Virginia Beach-Norfolk ?

wow, i was just going to make a post asking if anyone lived in the area of Virginia Beach that could tell me about some of the attractions and fun things to do (for little or no $). Some friends and I may be coming out on a road trip this summer.

Virginia Beach
17 hours, 42 minutes
Distance: 1,106 Miles

Think it would be worth the trip?
 
I live in Newport News. There?s a lot to do here in the VA beach area. It just depends on what like. Remember this though this is a tourist town during the summer so everything will cost you.

I lived there while I was in the Navy (at the Regional Medical Center). I moved off base to the "Aspen Racquet Club" in Va Beach.

That's also where I had my one-and-only car accident. There was a formation of 'Copters flying overhead, I was watching it, I slid into the back of a Sr. Cheif's big ol' pickup truck - bent the snoot of my car (old Buick Catalina - the one with the cow catcher on the front) - did nothing to the truck .... so he waved it off and warned me to pay closer attention.

I liked the area. While there, they had two votes to repeal the Blue Laws, and failed to repeal both times....struck me as strange for a tourist area.

The only free stuff I remember in the area was going to Norfolk's Naval Base (NOB Norfolk, whatever) to the Destroyer and Submarine Pier (D&S Pier) on Sundays: they (used to?) open up a ship for public tour every Sunday.

We used to hang around the Air Station and watch the fighters practice carrier landings (they have a runway with a capture wire).

There used to be a really nice (read: Not Cheap) restaraunt in VaB ~37th or 39th street called "The Iron Gate House"), and another nice restaraunt on the waterfront near the Naval Hospital .

SO, I dunno ... watch the military stuff or go to the beach...

It's been a long time.

FWIW

I live about 100 miles away. Since you will be in that area there is always Williamsburg and Kings Dominion. Kings Dominion is an amusement park with roller costers and stuff. I really don't know to much about the Virginia Beach area, sorry.
