With last year's England trip, a smaller budge trip is needed this year.
We're planning on heading to Williamsburg for a week or so. Not sure what all we are going to do there yet, hoping to avoid Busch Gardens. Gonna do colonial williamsburg, yorktown, jamestown stuff. Hit a couple breweries. What are some other suggestions you all might have?
Well - evidently Webster was let go from VT in March, so I don't guess it matters much, lol - I completely forgot that we had parted ways until someone on the tweeter reminded me
I think he meant a good starting lineup
Those who don't feel comfortable introducing their teens to Andor must have a hell of a time discussing current events with their teens
I've found that i don't think i care about HS recruits anymore.
With how stupid all this shit is these days, by the time he is ready to see action on the field, he'll be at his 3rd school
College sports is dumb.
Seconded. That place was about 5 minutes or less from the cottage we stayed in
That sounds awesome. When we were planning our England trip last year, we were back and forth between the southwest english countryside and Inverness
I loved our countryside trip, but definitely want to get to the highlands
Fernando Leonardi Kratsky Dopopolopolous
Reading a reddit page about him, sounds like many folks thought he would be a first rounder
I did Acadia 3 year ago, awesome stuff. Go over to the Schoodic Peninsula, very scenic, less peopley.
West Quoddyhead Lighthouse has some awesome walking trails, and great views. A little bit of a drive from BH

If I recall correctly, Tobi declared for the NBA draft, with the option to retain eligibility, and had already stated if he did not go the NBA route, he would be back at VT

# | Virginia Tech ranked 18th best college football program of the 2000s by The Athletic Given what VT had accomplished between 1995 - 2010ish, it is so frustrating to think about where we could have gone if we had put some effort and money into it. Instead, we are likely destined to be a middling ACC team fighting to stay somewhat relevant.

Hopefully he gets some play time as freshman so we can root for him, otherwise it'll be his sophomore year school fans that get to cheer on him and his story
lol - I wouldn't say every brewer, just most
But, I'm in the local homebrew club, that's where the Whalehead brewer got his start. Been friends with the Brewing Station brewer for a number of years, since our kids were in kindergarten together I guess
I'm fairly certain they do allow strollers (unless things have changed), pretty sure I took my now 11 year old there back when he was stroller bound.
If you go to Manteo (Roanoke Island is where the aquarium is located), check out the Elizabethan Gardens, pretty walk around through there, the do the Lost Colony play there too, I think you have to get tickets ahead of time.
Of course there are the lighthouses too. If you're staying in Kitty Hawk, Bodie Island Lighthouse is about 30 minutes south, and the Currituck Beach Lighthouse is about 40 minutes north in Corolla - could go see the wild horses or the Whalehead Club up there. Another buddy of mine is the brewer at Whalehead Brewery in Corolla, they make some good stuff too
I'm not a golfer - I would love to find the time to pick it up...but those courses like that one, and Seascape in Kitty Hawk would scare the shit out of me with houses lining the holes. 10 out of 10 chance I would shatter a window or hit some kid in their backyard right on the noggin
I assume the beach is going to be your main draw...
-if it isn't a blazing hot day, Jockey's Ridge is cool, you can coordinate through Kitty Hawk Kite's across the street to do the hang-gliding (I've not done it, but it is basically just gliding from the top of the dune down to the bottom)
-Paradise Golf and Arcade if they are into mini-golf - also has a small arcade and go-cart track
-Aquarium in Manteo is pretty cool, but if it is a rainy day it's going to be packed.
-First Flight Adventure Park in Nags Head is like an aerial ropes course type thing
-Duck Village - lots of little shops, restaurants, etc, walkable, could be worth an afternoon checking it out
Restaurants
Blue Moon in Nags Head is good, small parking lot though
Shipwrecks in KH - typical sports bar fare
Three Tequilas in KDH- good Mexican spot
Outer Banks Brewing station has a good vibe- they've got a new brewer (buddy of mine) who is trying to get the beer back on track (as of right now he's got two of his on tap (Rye Pale Ale, and the Brown Ale) both are great, working to replace some of the others
Nags Head Pizza Company - killer pizzas, doesn't have sit down eating, but you could snag a pizza and take it to Swellsa Brewing
I've been wanting to check out Billsburg, didn't realize it was right there with Jamestown, definitely going to hit it up
That lodging would be cool, but we already got our stay booked, my folks do the timeshare thing and they got a place out there that we're getting for no charge to us
