Above and below the water, then Boogaloo

The highlight of the Maritime Museum and Aquarium was going on the USS Wisconsin. The big guns you see in the picture shoot a shell that weighs the same as a Volkswagen and has a range of 26 miles. The ship is still in reserve, so it is still ready if called to action. What a thrill it was! There was so much to see and read in the Museum that after a while you go into history overload. At that point it was time to go Bayou Boogaloo. The Festival opened at noon, so we went over for a late Cajun lunch and a tour of the festival. After lunch, it was time to chill out on the boat and get ready for an evening of food, fun, and Cajun music. We went back to the festival in the evening, had a Cajun dinner (beignets after) and Boogaloo'd to three different bands.We had a great day and night, and looking forward to the Festival again today.

100 tons of chain and anchor. Now that's an anchor!

Looking through the periscope at the Wisconsin. Don't push the red fire button!

Great place for hands on stuff for kids. Hey kid! It's my turn

Walking tour of Norfolk

We put on our walking shoes yesterday and did a walking tour of Norfolk. What a great way to see and learn about the historic parts of the city. Tammy was our tour guide (no, she didn't carry a flag) and read from the tour guide book. Great job Tammy. Sorry this is so short, but it's time to take a shower and head for the Maritime Museum and the aquarium.

September Song (rushed for time) out

Can you see the ghosts in the window?

A gift from Taiwan to the City of Norfolk. Brings back memories of when we were there

Unbelievable detail on the buildings

No, this isn't another church. It was a church at one time, but now it's a bar and restaurant. We had to stop for a cold one. Saving thirsty souls 16 oz at a time.

Beautiful old homes on our walking tour
