Norfolk, VA – 5/11-14/06

We spent Friday in Norfolk at the Nautical Museum. A free, well done museum of naval history which shows the significance that Norfolk has played in the past. Also on site of this museum is the battleship U.S. Wisconsin, we had a tour and learned a little more of our great country's history.

Friday night we had a good-bye meal back at the boat with Skyler and once again celebrated his graduation. Saturday morning he leaves to drive back to Grand Rapids. A sad day for us, but we are so happy that he found the time to spend with us. It really meant a lot to us. It was fun to share part of what we are doing with him, and Ross when he visited, so that they have some kind of understanding of why we are doing this.

Saturday we all got up early to send Skyler off and later we both used the loaner car to visit the Chrysler Art Museum, in Norfolk. We toured the historical areas of Norfolk and Portsmouth before returning to the boat for a quiet Saturday night.
