Looking for a getaway on the coast? Relax in a cute beach town where you can stick your toes in the soft sand and watch the waves crash. Wake up to the sunrise looking like a fire on the horizon. Virginia Beach is the place to be!
After visiting D.C., Trace & I decided to make way to Virginia Beach since it is only 3 1/2 hours away. If you are looking for a beach front hotel that is pet friendly and serves breakfast, I recommend staying at the Residence Inn by Marriott. You cannot beat the views right from your room! Once we got checked in, we put our pups in the room and headed to the car to grab our belongings. When we got back to the room and tried to get in, our cute German Shepherd Brutus managed to lock the latch on the inside and we were locked out haha. That was a bit stressful, but also impressive! Luckily, the manager had just the tool to pop the door open for us.
Our hotel had a full kitchen so we headed to the Harris Teeter grocery store to make some dinner and watch the Patriots game (Trace is a Pats fan). The next morning, we got up and needed a caffeine boost so we went to Perked Up! Cafe. Their coffee and breakfast sandwiches were so damn good and what a cute place it was! We spent some time walking along the beach and scoping out the local shops for souvenirs. We requested a late check out and then packed up the Subie to make our way to North Carolina.
