Norfolk and Virginia Beach



Isn't this flag neat? This is the Nauticus museum in Norfolk, which is mostly naval history.
Now that whole big thing is "just this big"
Marley is taller than me now!
We enjoyed the museum, but we needed Papa Jerry to give us the rundown on what we were seeing!

Marley has the con - watch out!
Going across to board the Battleship USS Wisconsin - part of the Nauticus museum.
I love this picture of Marley! Right after this we saw some other Echelon (fans of 30 Seconds to Mars) who were in town for the show and doing the tourist thing also. (You shall know them by their t-shirts :) This reminded me of the old days on tour with the Grateful Dead, we would always see other deadheads in the art museums...good times, happy to be making new memories!
That's some big guns behind us!

We were quite impressed with the tininess of the living quarters and what it must take to live at sea.

Mars on deck
My crazy guys.
the sand is different in VA...they add to the beach differently up there I think - interesting.
I found this boy washed up on the beach...
last stop was a place called Abbey Road
we had a nice trip, were very impressed by the boardwalk and bike lanes at the beach and think we would enjoy going back.

Jared sings his acoustic songs right behind my banners! This just made my night! Oh, and when he complimented them from the stage, that was lovely, made all the hard work worthwhile! I have never done anything like making these big banners, never really painted on fabric much, so to create a design, like I did with the triad one, and then execute it so closely to how I envisioned it, was really exciting.This picture is fun because you can see me and Marley in the upper left! Also Tomo's wearing a Birthday hat!
