Satisfy your need for an aquatic adventure when you visit Lake Drummond. Plan a picnic on the shore or wade in for a swim or some fishing during the warmer months of the year. You can also enjoy such activities as hiking, biking, and hunting. Plus, you can enjoy a scenic walk along the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail which stretches for a mile along the edge of Dismal Swamp. This scenic body of water is the perfect backdrop for a great afternoon outdoors just relaxing or enjoying a great day out with the family.

Instead of the usual, opt for an evening of class (and classics) by planning to see a performance of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. Founded in 1920, these musicians carry on the impressive tradition of musical excellence with every piece of music they bring to life. The orchestra also maintains a busy schedule, as they present over 140 performances a year that include classical masterworks, pops, family, and dance series. Also, there are outdoor concerts that take place during the spring and fall months.

Norfolk's Town Point Park is a popular haven for city dwellers that want to enjoy a bit of nature during the course of their day. The park is popular with nearby office workers who head down to the park to find a bench where they can enjoy lunch outdoors before heading back to their cubicle. It also features plenty of wide open spaces and playground attractions to keep the kids active during your visit.

Sure, it may seem like a walk along the beach with your sweetie might be thought of as a romantic date cliché, but the reason it's a cliché is because it rings true with so many starry-eyed couples. One of the best places to get your feet all sandy amid the sound of the crashing waves is Sarah Constant Beach Park. The area is amazingly calm and offers a chance for the two of you to truly focus on one another as you enjoy a picnic on the beach or just stroll along the seashore as you watch the sunset.
