In this special travel report, Virginia Business editors took working vacations. We were told to go anywhere, do anything, as long as it's in the Old Dominion. The following six stories represent our collective junkets.

	Lee's Retreat Tracking the Confederate General from Petersburg to Appomattox is a great way to learn about the Civil War. By Karl Rhodes		Surfing the Slopes Up for a little adventure? Try heading downhill on a snowboard. By Leila Marija Ugincius
	A Walk Through History There's something magical about pedestrian-friendly cities, and Alexandria is one of America's finest. By Nicolee Stevens		In Search of the Wild Pig Beachgoers seeking a bit of solitude will find it in Sandbridge's Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge. By James A. Bacon
	Highland Haute Couture Looking for a mountain getaway? Try Abingdon, where they've perfected the fine art of roughing it.
