Nauticus

 Greg's flight was leaving from Norfolk and we had a lot of time between when we needed to be out of the house and when he was leaving so we decided to go to Nauticus.  It was a lot of fun.  The Battleship Wisconsin is there and we got to go on it and walk around. 

They also have a maritime museum and a naval museum that we got to go to.  It was very interesting to see what life would have been like on a destroyer. 
 They had a nice section on NOAA and the tools they use and they also had a few animal tanks.  We got to touch a shark, which was super cool.  It had rough skin.
 We also went to a labyrinth called Atlantis, it was for kids but it was pretty fun to run through and see all the things they had set up and even the big kids enjoyed playing on the interactive exhibits.
Norfolk was a lovely city and I am really glad we got a chance to see a little of it on our way home.
