I'm in Baltimore but I was in Norfolk about 2 months ago.  I went to the
zoo.   Before that I went to Jamestown and the American Revolution
Museum and the Yorktown Battlefield, and then I didn't even know abou
tit but I was driving by the Virginia War Museum and I stopped there
too.  Had a very good time.  Busy 3 days. 

After the zoo I drove around Norfolk for 40 minutes and took the Bay
Bridge Tunnel to go home. That was one of the attractions.
