OT: Considering Taking a Trip to Blacksburg

So I live in Birmingham, AL and was recently accepted into the grad school program as an online student. Sometime in the next year, I am hoping to get funding and move to Blacksburg to complete my degree while doing research or being a TA or whatever.

To that end, I am looking at possibly making a trip to Blacksburg one weekend in January prior to classes starting so my fiancee and I can see the town (last time I was there I was very young) and so she can see if she could live there for 2 years (lived in Auburn for 4 years, so I don't see an issue).

All that to say this: if we do make a weekend trip, what places do we absolutely have to hit? I know and can look up plenty about the campus, but as mid-20's people, where do we HAVE to go while we're there?
