Portsmouth and Norfolk are large Naval ports.  We took a ferry to Norfolk and went to the Naval Museum

We had several fun days with Simon and Linda from Indigo Seas!  We met in the Dismal Swamp and docked together in Portsmouth.  We had dinner at a wonderful German restaurant upon arriving in Portsmouth and we also spent time with them on Easter.l. We went to the movie Journey, which is a musical special starring Andrea Bocelli as he rides horses across Italy on a pilgrimage journey.  It was full of beautiful scenery, beautiful music and beautiful horses! It was truly an inspiring experience full of Grace and Hope…perfect for Easter!
