Exploring VA
















Today Matt, Brady and I explored Ft. Monroe and Norfolk Naval Base. It was a great day trip. Fort Monroe is so different from other bases I have seen. Lots of classic old homes with lots of Generals and Colonels living in them. Their names and rank are on signs on their front steps. Very nice. We even got to go to the beach on Chesapeake Bay. (That was my favorite stop). Next we went onto the Naval base and were able to walk on the piers with the carrier, The Theodore Roosevelt, parked right beside. We took a couple of safe pics, and were warned that if we took pictures in a certain direction we would be arrested....camera down for sure. It was amazing to see how huge these carriers are with all the radar and flight decks. When yall come...we will go back if you want. Oh yes, and we drove through the tunnel (1.5 miles of it) under the bay. I LOVE Tunnels. Missed yall.

How fun, Montie! That is so neat that you all are close to so many fun places. We're a little land-locked here......
