No visit to Smithfield (Hamtown) is complete without stopping to get a slice of world-famous ham at one of the restaurants along Main Street. The ham-producing Smithfield area of Virginia has a long and storied history, dating back to the 1770s. As early as 1779 the ham-making tradition began when Capt. Mallory Todd started exporting hams in Smithfield.

Since then, Smithfield has become one of the most well-known towns in Virginia for its production of world-famous country hams. In 1921, Smithfield Foods established what is now the largest pork processing plant in the world. Modern-day Smithfield Foods delivers products across six continents. If you choose you can walk to the Smithfield Foods Headquarters or drive by the packing plant on your visit, but neither offer tours inside.

The Isle of Wight County Museum is however home to a replica full-size smokehouse where visitors can learn more about the rich ham history of Smithfield. This ham-themed exhibit gives visitors the opportunity to smell ham spices and a better understanding of the ham-curing process.

Virginia Beach is a popular vacation destination for many reasons offering visitors an abundance of activities and attractions to enjoy. You’ll find breathtaking ocean views, which provide a stunning backdrop for unforgettable moments and picture-perfect memories. Whether you’re watching the sunrise over the horizon or gazing at the stars twinkling above the waves, the beauty of Virginia Beach’s oceanfront is truly a sight to behold. A day at the beach can be spent lounging on the soft sand, swimming in the warm ocean waves, or walking along the scenic boardwalk lined with oceanfront shops and restaurants.

From souvenir shops to art galleries and seafood shacks serving up the freshest catches, the boardwalk is a vibrant hub of activity that captures the essence of Virginia Beach’s coastal charm.

Where to Stay in Virginia Beach – Skip the Chain Hotels

There are many good reasons to skip the chain hotels and rent for your Virginia Beach vacation. A condo rental can provide more space and amenities than a typical hotel room. Rentals also allow guests to enjoy home-like comforts and conveniences. This type of lodging tends to be more budget-friendly than hotels and a rental can provide easy access to home-cooked meals, saving on dining out expenses.

Virginia Beach Atlantic Ave Condo Airbnb

Located moments from the beach the VB Atlantic Ave Condo at Oceans II Condos provides a convenient option for your Virginia Beach vacation. Renting here provided privacy, quiet, and relaxation allowing me to experience Virginia Beach like a local.

During my stay, I enjoyed stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean from the cozy comfort of my beachfront studio rental, tailored for those who adore the beach. I liked the benefit of a designated parking spot mere steps away from the shoreline and immersing myself in the sand and waves without the need to navigate busy streets.

As a work-from-anywhere nomad, I appreciated being able to connect with complimentary Wi-Fi and relax with Roku TV access throughout my stay. After a day of seaside bliss, taking a dip in the refreshing saltwater pool or unwinding on the lush lawn, just moments away from the beach was bliss.

I loved how this condo’s kitchen comes fully equipped too with all the culinary needs, from pots and pans to a K-cup coffee maker, microwave, electric range/oven, and refrigerator/freezer. Forget about packing linens, towels, beach towels, or beach chairs too because this host has you covered. The Queen bed was comfortable and I also appreciated the Cooling Hotel Quality Queen Size Pillows, and blackout shades to ensure a peaceful night’s rest.

In addition to the inviting studio, there were excellent amenities within the condo community too. There is a saltwater pool and the property is just moments from the beach visible outside the window. It was easy to unwind without straying far from my accommodations. This condo’s location makes it easy to access the city’s top attractions, including museums, shopping areas, and restaurants. Plus, with multiple public transit options nearby exploring the city is a breeze.

Whether traveling solo or as a couple seeking a romantic retreat, The Atlantic View Condo provides everything you need for an unforgettable beachfront stay. From stunning ocean vistas to thoughtful amenities and a well-equipped kitchen, your stay will be comfortable and hassle-free.

The Boardwalk is lined with casual eateries dishing up everything from fish tacos, to pizza, and lots of fresh local seafood. I recommend getting a bucket of steamed shrimp or crab legs and watching the waves crash and trying regional specialties like Chesapeake Bay crab cakes or some Lynnhaven oysters (a local delicacy harvested from the Lynnhaven River) while you’re in town.

In Virginia Beach, you’ll also find funky cafes serving up nitro cold brews and avocado toast, while other unique restaurants fuse international flavors into coastal classics. Along with upscale restaurants and others that offer refined twists on Virginia favorites like fried green tomatoes. My 3 top choices include:

What you need to know about the slow travel trend

April 11, 2024January 15, 2025 Krystle Kitchen

Slow travel is a concept that is gaining popularity in today’s fast-paced world. It refers to a more leisurely and immersive way of experiencing a destination, taking the time to truly connect with the local culture, people, and environment. Instead of rushing from one tourist attraction to the next, slow travelers prefer to savor every moment, seeking out authentic experiences and off-the-beaten-path gems.

One of the key principles of slow travel is taking the time to appreciate the journey as much as the destination. This means opting for slower modes of transportation such as trains, buses, or even walking, rather than rushing through airports and spending hours cramped in a plane. By traveling at a slower pace, you have the opportunity to observe the changing landscapes, interact with locals, and truly experience the journey itself.

Another aspect of slow travel is staying in one place for an extended period. Instead of hopping from city to city every few days, slow travelers choose to spend a week or more in each location, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the local culture, language, and way of life. This allows for a deeper understanding and appreciation of the destination, as well as the opportunity to form meaningful connections with locals.

Slow travel is also about being mindful of our impact on the environment and local communities. By choosing eco-friendly accommodations, supporting local businesses, and minimizing our carbon footprint, we can travel more sustainably and responsibly. This not only benefits the planet but also ensures that our travels have a positive impact on the places we visit.

Slow Travel Vacation Ideas

Take a train journey across a country or continent, enjoying the scenery and local culture along the way.
Stay in a remote cabin or eco-lodge, disconnecting from technology and immersing yourself in nature.
Cycle or walk along a long-distance trail, taking the time to explore each town and village you pass through.
Volunteer in a community-based project abroad, getting to know the locals and making a positive impact.
Go on a sailing or kayaking trip, exploring coastal areas at a leisurely pace.
Attend a traditional festival or cultural event in a foreign country, learning about local traditions and customs.
Take a road trip along a scenic route, stopping at interesting landmarks and attractions along the way.
Rent a camper van and travel around a country, enjoying the flexibility of being able to change your itinerary on a whim.
Stay in a homestay with a local family, getting a glimpse into their daily life and customs.
Take a cooking class in a foreign country, learning how to prepare traditional dishes and ingredients.

In a world that is constantly rushing and striving for instant gratification, slow travel offers a refreshing alternative. It encourages us to slow down, disconnect from our devices, and savor the present moment. By embracing a slower, more mindful approach to travel, we can create more meaningful and enriching experiences that will stay with us long after the trip is over.

We typically glorify speed and efficiency, but slow travel offers a refreshing alternative that allows travelers to truly immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of their destination. By eschewing the rush of planes and trains, slow travel encourages a more leisurely pace that enables adventurers to savor every moment, indulge in spontaneous discoveries, and forge deeper connections with the places they visit.

Benefits of Slow Travel

Some of the major benefits of traveling slowly include gaining a deeper understanding of a place, meeting locals and connecting with them, saving money, and reducing stress. When traveling slowly, you have the time to venture off the beaten path, wander through neighborhoods, observe daily life, and get to know the heart of a destination.

Connecting with locals as you travel can be one of the most rewarding parts of any trip. Rather than sticking to the typical tourist spots and itineraries, make an effort to interact with the people who live in the places you visit. This could involve striking up conversations in cafes, bars, parks, or other public spaces.

Ask locals about the best places to eat or lesser-known sights to check out. Their insider tips can lead you to hidden gems you’d never find in a guidebook. Sign up for a local cooking class or walking tour to get quality time learning from residents. Accept invitations to neighborhood events and private homes when offered.

The memories made by connecting one-on-one with people from different walks of life often end up being the highlight of a vacation. Immerse yourself in local culture by shopping at street markets, taking public transit, and wandering residential areas. Observe how the locals live, work, and play. Trying to speak some of the native language, even just a few phrases, can go a long way in building connections.

Approach new places and people with an open mind and curiosity. Staying in non-touristy neighborhoods allows day-to-day interactions with locals. Getting to know the people of a place on a personal level provides insight into local perspectives and ways of life. Forging human connections transcends cultural barriers and creates bonds that can last a lifetime.

Slow travel allows opportunities to try your hand at local activities and crafts, chat with a shopkeeper every morning, or develop friendships with fellow travelers you keep bumping into. It’s easy to gain insights into the region’s history, culture, cuisine, and language when you have the luxury of time. Slow travel is also much more affordable, as those who take their time don’t feel pressure to cram their agenda full of expensive tours and attractions.

Sample Short Travel Itinerary Ideas

Day 1: Arrive in a new city and check into your accommodation. Take a stroll around the neighborhood, stopping for a coffee or a snack at a local cafe. Visit a nearby park or garden to relax and soak in the atmosphere.

Day 2: Explore the city’s cultural landmarks and attractions, such as museums, galleries, and historic sites. Take your time wandering through the streets, stopping to admire the architecture and street art along the way. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant, trying some traditional dishes.

Day 3: Take a day trip to a nearby town or village to experience the local culture and way of life. Visit markets, shops, and artisanal workshops to see local crafts and products. Enjoy a relaxing meal at a countryside restaurant and sample some regional specialties.

Day 4: Spend the day outdoors, exploring the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Go for a hike in a nearby national park, take a boat trip on a river or lake, or simply relax on the beach. Take time to appreciate the peaceful surroundings and recharge your batteries.

Day 5: Return to the city and spend your last day leisurely wandering the streets, revisiting your favorite spots, and soaking up the atmosphere. Enjoy a final meal at a local restaurant, savoring the flavors and memories of your trip.

Day 6: Check out of your accommodation and head to the airport or train station for your onward journey. Reflect on your slow travel experience and the memories you’ve created along the way. Start planning your next slow travel adventure and look forward to exploring more of the world at a relaxed pace.

So, step off the beaten path, embrace the joy of taking your time, and let the journey itself become the destination as you embark on a slow travel adventure like no other. Slow travel doesn’t have to just be a new travel trend you read about. Next time you plan a trip, consider taking the road less traveled and embracing the beauty of slow travel for yourself.
