21. Went on the Spirit of Norfolk Lunch Cruise. VERY NICE!!! Food was great too! They had entertainment and announcements of all the historical things and sites around the Chesapeake Bay and Elizabeth River. Unfortuneately at the same time there was an oil sledge too. They were trying to contain that also .
