Took a free tour of the Naval base in Norfolk and although it was a bus tour around the base and no pictures allowed of actual ships; they did take us down Admiral row. ha! That's what I call it anyway. When this naval station was 1st being built back in early 1900's each state that wanted to be represented built a house (for the Admiral's use of course and other activities, i.e, parties) and this one of course was from Pennsylvania! What a hoot. Beautiful homes and all unique but hardly homes - they are mansions. This state is full of history and activities abound and we do have plans to see much more... after leaving here we did do the new waterfront that isn't too active this time of year. A little early for all the activities yet but fun just the same. Of course we are staying in Gloucester so we have to cross both the York River and James river to get into the Norfolk area! Love the history and the beauty this state has to offer this time of year!
