Redwolf,
I live in Chesapeake, VA (not far from the ocean). There is tons to do and see in VA so it really depends on what part you are going to. You have the beach in Va Beach, the colonial settings in Williamsburg (Busch Gardens amusement park also), much civil war and presidential history (the surrender at Appomatox Court House and many other battles), you will be close to DC if you visit the north part of the state. The Blue Ridge mountains run through western VA and are really beautiful (especially in the fall, August is a bit too soon to catch the leaves changing but it is still a great place to camp). There is a bunch more but let us know what part of Virginia you are planning on visiting and we can probably have more specific recommendations.
