On Sunday we had a fun packed and super busy day planned in Norfolk, Virginia. Since I LOVE animals and am hoping to work in conservation, we HAD to go to the zoo. This zoo was actually a lot prettier and bigger than I had imagined. There were animals from all over the world to see. I especially liked the tiger and rhino's. Although we didn't get a great look at the rhino, we still saw him soaking up the sun. Tyler and I also had to take a selfie with a few of the goats. They were so placid and happy being showered with affection. I know that Ty would love to have one as a pet(:
Next stop in Norfolk was the Naval history museum. But, first we were starving after walking around the zoo so we stopped by a restaurant called the 219 Bistro, on Granby street in downtown Norfolk. It was pretty fancy, actually a lot fancier than I had expected and wanted, but thats alright. Since Ty loves his breakfast food and that was an option here, he decided to get the Crab Benedict!! It consisted of poached eggs, crab, english muffins, hollandaise sauce and some fries...I happily ate those fries (: I on the other hand had something a lot lighter, a salad topped with grapes, oranges and a yummy dressing.
After the lunch, we went to the USS Wisconsin in the Naval museum. The ship was huge, but not as old fashioned as the ships we saw in Portsmouth last summer! It was cool getting to see the ships decks, but we...especially Tyler...really wanted to see the inside of the ship. In addition it was super hot and humid, so we both needed an escape. After searching and searching we finally found a way into the inside of the ship and got to see the sleeping quarters of the sailors. This was a very fun and TIRING day, but well worth it!
