I haven't been to the beach in years. So I decided to grab the family and head there. The destination this trip was Virginia Beach. The trip was pretty nice. I remember reading an article about more Americas will be traveling domestically instead of traveling aboard in the current economy. I believe to this be fact.

I decided to travel during the week. I was pretty shocked to see a lot of people were at the beach on a Monday through Wednesday. I remember going to a pretty empty beach in the past. Again, this was not the case this time. It was nice seeing so many people enjoy themselves.

I stayed at the Westin. It's about ten minutes away from the boardwalk. The rooms were pleasant and the pool was clean. I didn't get a chance to check out the gym, but from a glance it seemed well equipped. If you are in the area and looking for a place to stay, check it out. I truly enjoyed my stay. If you do stay there, please share your thoughts about this hotel. I would love to here about them.

The hotel was great but my funniest experience during the trip was not at the hotel. There was this guy boogie boarding. He asked a few people to move down the beach so he would not injure anyone while riding the waves. I thought, hey...thanks for warning and I moved. Well, two other guys didn't get the memo. They happen to jump into the wave the boarder was ridding. All I heard was, “Get out of the way!” I turned and saw him kick one of a guys in the face. I thought ouch! Some people have to learn lessons the hard way.
