This morning we travel the short distance to Washington, where we enjoy an interesting guided tour of the city. We’ll see the most famous sights in the city, followed by free time for lunch. Continuing south, we reach Virginia Beach by late afternoon. There are over 28 miles of beautiful sandy beach, ideal for a refreshing walk along the Atlantic. Enjoy the beach, the surf, and the boardwalk. This evening’s dinner is included (all breakfasts are included in Virginia Beach).

The entire day is free for you to enjoy the beach, do some shopping or simply relax.

Day Four

After breakfast, you are free to explore the area and visit the beach or boardwalk. You may wish to visit a nearby mall for some shopping. We will attend the impressive Virginia International Tattoo in nearby Norfolk. These ceremonial performances of military music by massed bands feature a different theme every year. Enjoy the marching bands, drill teams, gymnasts, motorcyclists, dancers, singers, and the massed pipes and drums. This performance will stir your soul.

Day Five

This morning we take a fascinating tour of the Norfolk Naval Base. You are sure to be impressed by what you see. Afterward, we board the Spirit of Norfolk for a delightful luncheon cruise, capping off a beautiful four days in Virginia Beach.

Day Six

After breakfast, we leave Virginia Beach in a spectacular way. We cross Chesapeake Bay on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel, a fascinating journey above and below the water. The beautiful rural scenery along the ocean leads us around Washington D.C., and on to Breezewood, Pennsylvania, our home for the night.

Day Seven

The fun and camaraderie on the coach continue as we enjoy a scenic drive home. We arrive home early evening.
