NORFOLK VIRGINIA DAY2







Esther and I got up early and went off to Rowena's Wonderful Jam and Jelly Factory. Rowena is such a cool woman. She loved us the minute she met us. She has tales about her pets as well. They are about as adventurous as we are. We got to taste the carrot jam...wow was that good! Check out www.rowenas.com

After that we went to the Virginia Zoological Park. We had a lot of fun there seeing all of those cute animals. I tried to eat some of them...ha ha. We really liked the African area.

We still had time to go to the Chrysler Museum of Art. It's a really good art museum that's has a whole lot of art, photography, sculpture, glass exhibit and more. The place is not huge enough to get lost in. Perfect size. We even tried our beaks in drawing and took a nasty photo just for the fun of it. Couldn't resist.

There is still so much more to see in Norfolk and we hope to come back. You should check out the website of www.visitnorfolktoday.com

NORFOLK VIRGINIA DAY 1










They have a free hot breakfast here at the Residence Inn but were only hungry for a bagel and cream cheese. This was not like the bagels that they sell at a place called Yorgo's. Since we were too short to go on our own segway, we parked our carcass in Merle Exit's bag. One of the places we saw was the headquarters of PETA...ha ha. We don't care since we're made of rubber!

We then had lunch at a place called 219: An American Bistro.

From there we went to this place called Doumar's where they created the first waffle ice cream cone. Here is Mr. Doumar himself.

We went back to the hotel and after watching some health channel decided that we needed to practice CPR and beak to beak resuscitation.

It was then off to dinner at Press 626 Cafe and Wine Bar where we chomped on some clam fritters before going back to the hotel.

With germs everywhere, we wanted to make sure that we were sanitized and found one near the entrance of the hotel.

NORFOLK VIRGINIA ARRIVAL






Now that Eunice and I have declared ourselves to be known as Free Range Chickens, we are off to another adventure, going from New York to Norfolk, Virginia this time. We were met by a Delta employee who wanted to make sure that we had our boarding passes. Although the flight had many delays going, we did make it and checked into the Residence Inn Downtown. There was a gift basket waiting for us with tons of goodies.

It was off to a restaurant called No Frills Grill where we indulged in a bowl of gazpacho and perogies.

Eunice was tuckered out from both eating and the airline so I watched television while she conked out for the night.
