Children's Museum

Bald Eagle

We have been busy exploring the towns of Portsmouth and Norfolk since we arrived here on Halloween. The kids and I did a bike ride into Olde Town Portsmouth. We rode down High Street (the main street of olde town). We explored an art gallery, a nautical themed store and stopped for coffee at the information booth at the High Street ferry docks. Our next trip into Olde town consisted of stops at the Children's Museum and the post office.  Our most recent trip into town included a trip to the City of Portsmouth Library.  The kids loved the fact that the children's section was in the basement!
The kids and I also visited the Norfolk Botanical Garden's twice since we have been here in town. Sabastian spotted a bald eagle on our last trip! The kids are already asking for another trip to the gardens and we are definitely going to go back. The gardens are beautiful and there is still so much more to explore.

Paisley and Hello Kitty

On Sat Nov 6, 2010 We ventured over to MacArthur Center Mall to wish Hello Kitty a Very Happy 50th Birthday! Miss Paisley is a huge fan of Hello Kitty. We took the kids to our favorite restaurant when we use to live here back in the late 90's called the Grate Steak in Norfolk, VA. It was a fun evening out at one of our favorite restaurants.On Sunday Nov 7, 2010 Andrew and the kids took a ferry ride over to Norfolk to explore by bike and ended up at Nauticus and the Battleship Wisconsin.
