For most vacationers, a rainy day in a beach town is unwelcome at best, disastrous at worst. Sun and sand seekers suddenly find themselves stuck inside hotel rooms, wondering how they will keep themselves and their children entertained inside. Some of our favorite beaches have little more than a movie theater in town for rainy days, which, these days, isn’t even an option.
My husband and I loaded up our girls for a long weekend at Virginia Beach in mid-September. Our girls aren’t yet school-aged, and we hoped to avoid the summer crowds and enjoy quiet beaches and warm—but not hot—weather.
