Message: [QUOTE="gocraz4dasu, post: 1094096, member: 1109"] I've grown up in VA but I'm more knowledgeable on the Harrisonburg and Richmond areas considering that is where I live. I don't know as much about Williamsburg other than Colonial Williamsburg which was a cool field trip when I was kid. I would definitely recommend Busch Gardens or Kings Dominion, I've been going to both for as long as I can remember and they both have their pros and cons as to which one to go to. If you want places to eat in H'burg or Richmond just say so and I can mention a few places. Richmond has a whole bunch of good restaurants so finding a restaurant even without my help would be easy. Now VA beach can be a good time but as someone who lives in VA, Myrtle and the OBX are better but that might be because I'm so used to VA beach. I wish I could remember the name of this restaurant that is about two or three blocks off of the beach. It is essentially a house that has been fitted to be a restaurant and the food is great. I'm sure you can ask around for it because it is pretty well known by people who spend any sort of time at VA beach regularly. They also serve some pretty good drinks which may be a necessity when you have 4 young kids. I'd definitely tell you to avoid I95 if you can because, frankly, it is awful. As someone who used to drive on I95 for work every day, I do no miss it at all and that is with me cutting off a significant amount of time on the road with 288. It is dreadful. I81 can be a bit rough in some parts, a lot of big commercial vehicles, but it tends to move pretty quickly. Obviously try to avoid rush hour and you should be okay. 64 is a pretty nice and easy drive until you hit Richmond, depending on the time, but it is nice to cruise on it. I find driving on 64 for most of it to be rather relaxing. There's a BBQ joint called Barbecue Exchange that is in Gordonsville, it is great (hushpuppies there are mediocre though), which can be driven to off of 81 and 64 depending on which way you go. If traffic is bad on I81, you can take the scenic route (33) and make it to 64 and Barbecue Exchange is on 33. [/QUOTE]
