Sunday 13 May 2007 - Newport News to Fayetteville

Checked out of the hotel and drove first to Circuit City, an electonics store to collect my new Panasonic FZ8 camera, bag and 2gig sd card, all for considerably less than the cost of the camera alone in Australia. Coming soon....lots of photos!

Then on to Norfolk to the Hampton Roads Nautical Museum where the USS Wisconson is moored. Ian has always been interested in battle ships, but has never had the opportunity to see one, let alone go on board and look around, so this has been the most exciting thing for him so far. Ken would have loved the museum.

Left there at 1.30pm so that we could get to Betty's sister's house where their mother and father were present for a mothers day dinner. Betty is the eldest of six and her family all live in the same area and are very close, so it was quite special to be allowed to join this large, loving, noisy family for the occasion.

After dinner drove to JB and Betty's house, dumped the bags and went to bed.
