From the coastal plain--where the sun kisses the sparkling sands of Virginia
Beach--through the Piedmont plateau and westward to the rolling Blue Ridge
and rugged Appalachian mountains, Virginia offers the best of both worlds:
seashore and mountains. Virginia has art galleries and excellent restaurants;
camping and hiking in the George Washington and Jefferson national forests;
plantations; music, crafts, festivals, house and garden tours, and horse shows;
fun-filled theme parks and awesome caverns; historic churches; and buildings:
the world's largest naval base in Norfolk; and the NASA/Langley Research Center.
