Smithfield is just a short drive away from the Virginia Beach area and is home to some great tasting Ham. Paula Dean endorses it so it must be good!

Did you know that Smithfield is also the home of the 105 year old ham that is the oldest in Smithfield. Smithfield also boast the 2,200 pound ham biscuit, the world's largest. So if you love ham you may want to take your next vacation to Smithfield.

I found this tantalizing information on the state website or you can just click here.

Recently I discovered something in Virginia Beach that I did not know existed. It is called TerraGator Tour and it takes you to False Cape State Park. Where is False Cape you ask? It is located past Sandbridge and Back Bay National Wildelife Refuge. The only way to get to this remote beach is to walk or take the tour. It is well worth the $8 is cost per person to get there. You can take this trip November - March but you must have a reservation. (757-426-7128 or 800-933-7275)
