This place is a happening place. Bars, restaurants, souvenier shops, haunted houses, and NUMEROUS motels are all along this stretch of land. Sorry for not having a picture...my time here was really demanding, so I never got to take many pics.
I spent my Virginian evenings/nights mostly either driving a car (usually up to 11-12 pm) to reach destination for the next day visit or in a hotel room with my wife, Urszula (matcrazy0). As you can see in my picture the most comfortable Virginian bed was in Super 8 Motel in Harrisonburg (western Virginia). In Virginia and generally in the USA single beds are usually much wider than in European budget hotels and motels. I wonder why. Average American human being is not larger than European one as I noticed, both are mostly L. Additionally they have quite many mostly shorter Asians and thinner Latinos (S or M) in the USA. Well, maybe European compact beds explain why we still have more children in say Poland.Apart from as above Urszula and I were busy reading travel literature and maps trying to prepare our itinerary for the next day which was always great fun. I also transferred my...
Every experienced photographer has to admit that the most interesting photographs are not those taken on clear, sunny day but at night, at sunset/sunrise and even during worse weather (fog). In October and November days are short thus I often drove through Virginian old towns and cities at night. I could easily find quite many beautiful historical buildings which were usually heavily lit. So, part of my Virginia adventures was night photography of old archtecture with a tripod. Let's say about Pulaski and Richmond.RICHMONDMy wife, Nat and I enjoyed a lot long walk along the Historic Fan District which finished in the evening. The Monument Avenue was not heavily lit but the monuments (to Robert E. Lee in my picture) were.PULASKIDespite darkness I hit my car towards city of Pulaski in western Virginia because of its Polish name. The Pulaski County Courthouse looked impressive and was...
In Arlington I stayed in Sheraton National hotel which stands alone as the tallest building in this area. The night views over the Pentagon and Washington, DC are spectacular. I am sure you watched it on TV as the hotel was occupied by journalists after terrorist attack over the Pentagon as the only hotel with such view. Well, you have to take night pictures through window glass as a roof terrace is closed. If the view from your room is on opposite direction to the Pentagon, or you stay at lower floor, take an elevator to the 16th floor to find a room (in front of the ball room) with glass wall overlooking Pentagon and Washington, DC.First we started to look for the landmarks of the area we were going to visit the following two days. Enlarge my picture, please and look for large building of the Pentagon. Put good glasses on and try to find out small points of the Capitol Building and the...
Arlington in Northern Virginia is just across the Potomac River from Washington, DC. Its part called Crystal City is full of hotels and restaurants mostly less expensive than in U.S. capital and is connected by very convenient metro with Washington, DC - a must see for every U.S. citizen. It makes Crystal City the most convinient location for VT-meetings in Virginia. Let's meet at least a few VT-ers. As for today there are 4,235 VT-ers living in Virginia and 948 in Washington, DC.When we entered our VT-meeting place, Jaleo Crystal City restaurant, we saw huge, colorful and loud interior. Although it was busy Friday we were seated right away at long table, which made sense given the size of our group. We enjoyd our company, food (tapas) and drinks a lot and shortly we had great fun. Despite numerous drinks and many, many tapas we didn't pay a lot as for 6 persons - $120.23 plus...
In Virginia Beach, each night (in summer), along Atlantic Ave, there is the Beach St. USA, a nightly show of music and magic tricks by performers paid by the city of Virginia Beach. This mainly a lure for tourists, but really isn't that bad of a place; besides shopping and watching local performers, you can also sometimes see a show of fireworks. It's quite an interesting place.
Sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll in! There's nothing like being at a marina at sunset for some great shots! It's so peaceful, the birds flying & singing, the sound of the water hitting the dock and watchin' the sun set ( with a camera of course )!
This place has it all! Great restaurants, great bars and good shops. ****BEWARE THOUGH*****DUI's are handed out like crackerjacks at a baseball game! I don’t drink and drive, but for those who do- THEY WILL GET YOU!!!!Oh and for all of you single guys...Anytime a naval ship comes back in from being out to see for any period of time, there will ALWAYS be a lot of navy girls waiting for YOU! They will buy you drinks, food and....And if you have no morals, which I do, then when the sailors go out hit the bars. That is where you will find ALL naval spouses that need one night of fun. My father always told me I should do it, but I was in the army and know how it felt!ENJOY!!! Some Causual. theres no actuall code per se, but you will feel out of place if you are not dressed semi casual.

Hole in the Wall - punk rock bar.*and*The Bamboo Cafe - fun little bar.Simply a dirty, cozy hole in the wall. Sometimes bands squish in there to play. Usually the music is good, if you are into alternative music.The Bamboo Cafe, a great bar with great food and a sometimes very weird mix of people (very old to just the legal limit). The Bamboo can be a bit stuffy sometimes, only sometimes (depends on the crowd for the evening) *but* there are several other bars on the same block that offer a different variety. I would still check out the bamboo first. Very cheap happy hour!! None. Whatever. Just don't be naked. haha.
