Virginia is for lovers...of the beach

     Virginia Beach, Virginia is one of those classic areas, it has the soft smooth sand, the knarly surfing waves, and for the athletic ones a boardwalk that spans over 5 miles. Even though i have not been to Virginia Beach in over 2 years it leaves a everlasting memory.
     Whenever I stayed at Virginia Beach I have always stayed at a play called Four Sails, it is located  20 feet from the boardwalk and is just about 13 stories high with a sun deck on the 8th floor, indoor pool on the 4th floor and a amazing view from any of the balconies.

     Virginia Beach is  not a vacation spot that requires you to use a lot of energy unless you want too. What I decided to do was to wake up early and either jog or rollerblade the entire boardwalk and then spend the rest of the day either playing volleyball or body surfing the waves. The nightlife environment is a vacation on its own, I was lucky enough to be staying the week of the musical festival, this means that many bands were set up all along the boardwalk and the music varied from old bluegrass all the way to the Twisted Sisters. Being a Insomniac was not so bad here because the bars were open all night so even though I am unable to go into the bars it was ten times better to watch the people who were able to drink get thrown around by the heads of the horses that the police were on.

     The intriguing part is that Virginia Beach can be a place for elderly people to enjoy the dolphins jumping in the distance, families to come and enjoy the sea breeze and the carnival ride yet it can also be a place for college students and young adults to come and have a good time.
