Timing might be off but go to Norfolk, tour Wisconsin, dinner at Doumar’s
Very good ship tour (you’re a week early though when they light it up for Christmas) and you’ll see the first ice cream cone maker at Doumar’s.
If you want to stretch your legs, go to Mount Trashmore to walk/run laps. Very nice rec facility (VA Beach is capable of doing something right on occasion). Better yet, go to the oceanfront and walk the boardwalk. Ice cream cone at DQ while you get in steps. If not in a rush Sunday morning, go to Doc Taylor’s for breakfast and a mimosa and then walk it off. Note: you can park at Doc’s for free and go for that walk, just tell the staff.
If you want something to do very close by, go to Enson Market right down the street on Indian River Road. It’s a huge Asian market with a variety of food and other products. Walk the aisles and you’re bound to find something to take home. Tip: in the back of the right side of the store there are refrigerators with great pastries - get some.
Bad news: Founders Inn is in a terrible traffic corridor. Being just off the interstate might minimize the pain but it’s still a mess.
