Top 10 Things to do in Hampton Roads...for less than $5

Okay, so Rob and I have really enjoyed our time here in VA Beach and have done a little exploring along the way. I wanted to share our top ten list. Maybe you can give us a couple other ideas about the area or share a top ten of your area!

10. Gotta go to the beach! We love the Oceanfront or Sandbridge and you can get free parking at either if you know the right spots. At Oceanfront there is always a lot going on for free....you just have to stay tuned in to hear about it. Our favorite was the open air Jim Brickman concert right on the water!


9. Every summer we have loved hitting the strawberry fields around here. They are the best strawberries ever....and if you just want a little bit, it's pretty cheap.

8. Hit the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk on Wednesday - totally free and an awesome experience.




7. Take a bike ride around downtown Ghent and enjoy the old houses and fun shops. It's like a walk back in history.

6. Explore the Moses Myer museum and the McArthur Memorial down in Norfolk. The Moses Myer has a free hour tour and is a really neat experience.



5. Take the ferry across from Norfolk to Portsmouth or Portsmouth to Norfolk. It's only 1$ each way. It's a lot of fun even if you just ride across and take a walk downtown.






4. Go explore McArthur Mall. It's great for window shopping. Parking is free on a side street or if you're in the mood for spending $10 at California Pizza Kitchen, you can get free valet parking!




3. Go to the sunrise cafe in Great Bridge for breakfast between 6 and 9 am. It's a really cute place and they have a full breakfast for $1.99 when you order a drink!

2. Hit the Portsmouth Flea Market once a month. I always find a steal and even if I don't , it is so fun to go anyways. Grab a friend and go....and while you're there, walk around the corner to The Daily Grind for a coffee!

1. Our all-time favorite - Take the "back way" to Williamsburg (through Suffolk) and catch the James River car ferry. It's a beautiful drive, the ferry is totally free, and there is a road you can take when you get off that is right along the water. It's great for taking bikes or just taking a picnic to eat along the water. Stop in Williamsburg and hang out or just enjoy the ride. We love it!

Fine list, but a little boring. What about winter things to do? I should move back to Florida...

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Now, I feel good, I started take up real income.
It's all about how to choose a proper companion who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
