Hi There,
Glad you are coming to visit Virginia Beach:) Which website did you check out? I can post some pictures of the area and recommend some websites. Do you know what places you want to visit?
Well letmesee, the boardwalk is really nice. Virginia Beach isn't a big city. In fact, the closest towns are 30-45 minutes away depending on traffic & if you use the highway. I like the fact that it isn't a big city bcos it gives it a small town effect. I've lived here since I was 4 years old, so I see people I know at the grocery or mall. My favorite spots to visit are: MacArthur Mall (Norfolk-- check out this nearby city if you can bcos it has a lot to offer like Nauticus and museums & great restaurants too), the beach & boardwalk (during the summer we have concerts especially 4th of July it gets packed), Virginia Marine Science Museum (they offer dolphin watching cruises and there is also a salt marsh boat cruise which is cheap and relaxing) and the museum is fun too, Lynnhaven Mall, Verizon Wireless concerts at the amphitheater, we have ice hockey/field hockey/ and soccer complexes, Farmers Market (neat little place), and Mount Trash Moore- park. The nearby towns also have festivals, concerts, shows, etc. Down at the beach which we sometimes call The Oceanfront, there is jet skiing, parasailing, and people play volley ball, fish, and picnic on the beach. You can also rent bikes too. During the summer there will be a little amusement park located on 15th street I think. For food: there's a lot that I haven't even been to yet around town & located on Pacific Ave. Besides the Oceanfront, there is also Sandbridge beach that is less populated and equally serene. Near Sandbridge is a nature preserve. We have lighthouses to visit too. 2 hours away is Williamsburg which has historic spots & Bush Gardens theme park. Nearby Richmond also has a theme park which is fun & its the states capitol. Have a great time on your visit!!

Your story sounds like something out of a movie! I'm glad that you were the hero and that you're (for the most part) alright. I don't think it's strange about the knife thing. I'd probably do the exact same thing!
Good going, Shell!
Thanks Peaches..... It was a movie I was glad to see that there would not be a sequel (sp?) to!! If there was.....it would be called "Shell Opens Up A Can Of Whoop A*S"!!

Well, I went to my hotel's website, and it showed some the popular spots in the city. I really can't wait to get out to the beach because it looks so beautiful! I went there once when I was 5 or 6, but all I really remember was my little toy boat getting washed away into the ocean  lol. We weren't going to go until the very end of August in hopes of avoiding a big crowd. Think it'll work? A lot of those places that you mentioned sound really awesome! I'm taking my friend Rachel along and she likes museums and things, so I'll check some of those things out as well. Thanks for all your suggestions!
