Harper's Ferry National Historic Park
Harper's Ferry, WV
Harper's Ferry is jam packed with civil war history and I think it's worth a day trip there. Because of my travel time I ended up arriving early in the morning (~9am) and ended up being the only one there for a little bit so I ended up exploring the nearby train tracks and part of the Appalachian Trail.
Charlottesville, VA
To kill a little bit of time (ended up arriving at my airbnb early) I recommend wandering around the University of Virginia for an old school vibe. Around the University is "the corner", which is literally a corner of two streets where there are a bunch of restaurants and stores for your pleasure. If you get a chance, about 10 minute drive away is Bloop Frozen Yogurt - AMAZING.
Starting at Rockfish Gap
The entire drive is about 1-5 miles and takes a little over 3 hours to finish. I was pressed for time so didn't get a chance finish the entire thing, but I would definitely drive it again if I was around the area. The opening hours are 9-5, so it's hard to catch a sunrise or sunset in the mountains, but still worth the views!
Military Aviation Museum
Virginia Beach, Virginia
Being the nerd I am, I stopped by this museum to check out some old air crafts from World War II. Many of them are actually functional and they do offer rides on them. Timing was not on my side and I was disappointed about that, but I would go back to see what it's like flying in a couple of these bad boys.
Virginia Beach Boardwalk
The sunset was beautiful, but nothing compared to the sunrise.
Out of what I saw in West Virginia and Virginia, I'd have to say Virginia Beach was my favorite. It's a tourist area in the summer, of course. But well worth it. I didn't have a single bad meal and their famous Orange Crush drinks are quite delicious. And obviously the sunrises are breath-taking. Very much worth dragging your ass out of bed at 6am for.
More updates later!

Have an amazing day!
