- Virginia Beach
- Nearby Virginia Beach offers up sun and sand in the summer months, while whale-watching peaks in the winter. Colonial history buffs should visit First Landing Cross, a national monument marking the landing spot of the first English settlers, who arrived 13 years before the Pilgrims. Fast forward to the future with a visit to the Virginia Air and Space Center, where you can tour the original site of NASA, and check out the Apollo 12 Command Module.
