Chesapeake Bay Day 6

Kids swam in lazy river, then we drove to Norfolk, VA to tour the Naval Base. Guided bus tour - very interesting. Saw many ships, helicopters, planes. Saw historic state homes from 1907 World's Fair. Got a feel for what life on a base would be like. Drove to the USS Wisconsin for self-guided tour. Spoke to a vet that served on the ship in the early 1950's, and another that served on aircraft carriers.



Came back to hotel and walked on boardwalk down to Neptune sculpture and did some souvenir shopping. Kids had their first saltwater taffy. Ate supper in our room (pizza) after kids went swimming.
