Hamptons Roads

Greetings,

I realize our life has revolved around home improvements... and unless you are into that sort of thing... you might be a little bored with our last 3 months worth of blog posts. 

So Harry and I are going to make an effort to "get out of the house" so to speak and enjoy what Virginia has to offer. 

We are starting local... Hamptons Roads area.




Hampton Roads is the name for both a body of water and the Norfolk-Virginia Beach metropolitan area which surrounds it in southeastern Virginia. Hampton Roads is notable for its year-round ice-free harbor, for United States Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, NASA, Marines, and Army facilities, shipyards, coal piers, and hundreds of miles of waterfront property and beaches, all of which contribute to the diversity and stability of the region's economy.


Hampton Roads is home of the world’s largest naval base and world’s largest shipyard. All five military services’ operating forces and major command headquarters, including the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and the only NATO command on U.S. soil call Hampton Roads home.


Our goal is to visit our new city (it's not really a city though) and see what it has to offer, see if it has anything of interest...?


Blessings,

Have you tried Granby Street in Norfolk? It's a strip near Waterside, and tends to run a little more toward the adult crowd. There's a wide variety of restaurants in a range of prices, styles, and cuisines. It can get a little crazy down there after 9:00, but before that you can find a great dinner.
