Senior Class Goes First Class
A 4-day, 3-night tour. With educational elements and tons of fun, your group will be on the go from
sun-up to sun-down.
Day 1 | Explore the shoreline.
AM: After
breakfast at the “udderly” popular Purple Cow Restaurant, it’s back to nature at the
environmentally-focused interactive Chesapeake Bay Center. First Landing State Park
showcases the landing of the first English settlers in 1607, and offers sea kayaking, a wet lab and
marine education.
PM: Lunch at Bubba’s or Lynnhaven Fish House, then climb the Old Cape Henry Lighthouse.
Spend the afternoon on the Boardwalk with a stop at the Old Coast Guard Station for “Salty Sea
Stories.” Pi-zerria at 33rd Street is one of the best pizza joints in town, but save room for a cone
as you visit the busiest Dairy Queen in the world on 16th Street.
Day 2 | Thrill to jets and dolphins.
AM: Follow
breakfast with a tour of Naval Air Station Oceana Master Jet Base for a heartracing, up-close experience with F/A-18 Hornets.

Flipper with Virginia Aquarium naturalists. Enjoy a hearty buffet meal of coastal fare at Captain
George’s Seafood.

the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.) to learn of renowned
dream interpreter and visionary Edgar Cayce, and his views on holistic healing. Visit the

Theater. Finish the day with a show at Little Theater of Virginia Beach or Sandler Center for
the Performing Arts, and a crowd-pleasing dinner at Stella Gourmet Pizzeria, where you can
make your own pie.
Day 4 | Drive across the bay.
AM: As
you leave the beach, enjoy the scenic route north on Route 13 across one of the seven
man-made wonders of the world, the Chesapeake Bay- Bridge Tunnel. The 17.5 mile span
