AG Virginia Beach getaway: June 26-29 (Thurs thru Sunday). That's the weekend of the VPMA conference, which Carl is attending during the daytime. The hotel we're staying at is offering a special group rate of $157 a night if you book before May 28 (must mention you're part of Virginia Podiatry group, not sure if we can pull it off but it's worth a try). Regular rates are $215 a night. This is an all-suite hotel with a private stretch of beach. Their website is
here.
In addition to the beach, there's a bunch of neat stuff nearby. First Landing State Park is right next to the hotel, and is the most popular park in the state. There's also a boardwalk and aquarium not too far from the hotel. A little farther out in Williamsburg is Busch Gardens Europe, which IMO is one of the best theme parks in the country.
This time there's no escape for Jamal!
