We spent this day in downtown Norfolk until lunch, visit family and friends after lunch, then back to Portsmouth for dinner at the Bier Garden. We took the HRT's Paddlewheel Ferry to get across the Elizabeth River.  The ferry had very few passengers on it.  The only port in Norfolk …

After the morning routine and a cup of coffee we started packing and loaded the car back up. After finding the Nauticus in the GPS we were on our way back to Norfolk. We found a parking garage right around the corner from there and made our way over to the Wisconsin. My friend had been here before …

"Mermaids on Parade," like the cows all over Chicago, but with Norfolk logo was hashed out by a businessman as a way to attract tourists and revitalize the city. Why mermaids? Probably because of Norfolk's lon…

All too short, my stay in the Outer Banks was over and it was time to move on. I had an easy day travel up to the Elks Lodge in Norfolk, VA where I have stayed before.
