2.) Bring your sweet tooth to the 2018 Chocolate Lover’s Festival in Fairfax, Virginia! Sample the finest chocolate goodies (including cakes, candies, brownies, fudge, ice cream, and more) from participating vendors (I recommend trying a little something from Sugar Mama’s Ice Cream or Cameron’s Coffee and Chocolates). If you enjoy showing off your baking skills (or watching people create edible masterpieces), participate in the Chocolate Challenge and make a chocolate cake – get creative with it and wow the judges!

3.) Join the 2018 Polar Plunge Festival on Virginia Beach! Get out your swimsuit and take a dip in the frigid Atlantic Ocean. There’s also a SunTrust Dash and Splash Challenge (a race down the boardwalk), Plunge Marketplace (featuring local artisans), costume contest, live music, and hot chocolate and coffee. They even have Post-Plunge Party at the Hyatt’s Ocean 27 Hotel with even more music, food, and fun! This is a wonderful way to support the Special Olympics Virginia, which provides sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Also, if you’re one of the tops 5 teams to raise the mot money during the Plunge, you’ll be entered in a raffle for the chance to win 4 airline vouchers that allow you to travel anywhere in the U.S.!
