Spending a weekend in Hampton, Virginia, exploring the history of the area and celebrating the 150th anniversary of Hampton University.

Flying over a hill on an ATV, I had an epiphany: this family vacation might just be our best ever.

Tucked away from the crowds and surrounded by acres of towering trees, you’ll discover a wonder of nature: cool, gemstone-colored freshwater bubbling from deep below the surface. The picturesque calm is inviting for nature lovers, families, and those seeking pure rejuvenation. Enjoy the springs with a refreshing swim, kickback in an innertube, or paddle through the water on a kayak or paddleboard. Relax on the sandy shorelines, explore surrounding trails, or simply bask in the unfiltered beauty.
