Plan a Family Escape to Virginia Beach

by Katie on April 20, 2010

Plan a Family Escape to Virginia BeachThough New York is one of the most popular tourist attractions, it’s not often ranked as very family-friendly. Sure, hundreds of thousands of children live and grow up in the city, but with expensive hotels and attractions, it takes a lot of money (and energy) for a family to explore the city. For a more low-key and affordable family vacation, head to Virginia Beach for a family getaway.

Virginia Beach is one of the east coast’s classic beach resort areas, with
