Monday April 26th Portsmouth VA

Nana and Nandad had a wonderful dinner at Fish and Slip which is right at the dock. Nana had delicious crab balls but was a little disappointed they were not locally caught!  Nandad had a huge portion of meatloaf- the perfect comfort food. We captured the almost full moon shining over the navy dry dock just before sunset. 

Monday morning Nandad wanted to take the bikes to the local supermarket. As we rode down the historic downtown it was almost like a ghost  town. After successfully doing our grocery shopping, filling our two backpacks , Nandad decided we should take a different ride back !!! Oh boy did we go round in circles! No worries we finally returned to NH , put the groceries away and had a great lunch onboard.

After lunch Nana and Nandad decided to take the River boat across to Norfolk and walk around the Nauticus & The Battleship Wisconsin. Nothing is open today but we had a wonderful time strolling the area known as Cannonball Trail. We also discovered the Pagoda & Oriental Gardens which are so colorful and very peaceful. 

This is a picture of the bow of the USS Wisconsin - a little intimidating! 

Maybe this is the reason it’s called the Cannonball trail ! 

The perfect spot for a little meditation.
