What is this rule? Number agreement? Parallelism?

Please consider the following sentence:

Keep the adventure rolling with a visit to the Fairgrounds and Cove Lagoon.

I'd argue that the correct version would be (because we have two nouns):

Keep the adventure rolling with visits to the Fairgrounds and Cove Lagoon.

Is this correct? And if so, what is the rule called? Thank you in advance!

It is possible to stop at two places in one visit, so the plural 'visits' is not, strictly speaking, necessary. Either version is OK. CJ
