Our visit to Norfolk


Rylee and I were lucky enough to visit TJ over her Spring Break. It was a Blast! We got to ride in TJ's little tiny car that could hardly carry our luggage. LOL! Seriously though, Norfolk is lovely and the weather was great and the company the best! We were able to meet TJ's roommate and meet other friends as well. He has quite a nice set up and and even nicer set up once I left. It is a mom thing.

One day we spent at a Naval Museum and aquarium. We learned about real pirates. Not exactly like what we are used to seeing at Disneyland. Then TJ took us to Virgina Beach. Now let me set the stage here. Virgina Beach was rate the number one place in America to raise a family. So, my expectations of what I was going to see were pretty high. They were dashed almost immediately by the stench as soon as we hit the city limits. There was trash everywhere. It was no place I would like to raise a family. So, we got out, walked to the boardwalk. Took a picture (just to show we had been there)and got back into TJ's ity bity car and drove off.

One night we ate Sushi, this was Rylee's first time having real Sushi. Oh sure, she has had a California role and loves those, but raw fish...forget about it. Well, the child loves it. No, she inhaled them. She could use her chopsticks despite us trying to teach her, so she just used her fingers, and her hair and her clothes. Remember, she inhaled the stuff.

It truly was a great visit and I cannot wait to go back again. TJ is really do well and we are very proud of him. He call me yesterday and told me that he received a 100% on a written test. He was the only student in his class to do so. WAY TO GO TEEJ!
