Day
1:
Board
the motorcoach and travel to Virginia, where there is no other
place in the world where you can experience the pride and the
enthusiasm of American Freedom.
Stop at the Virginia Air
and Space Center, the birthplace of America’s space
program, and the official visitor center for NASA Langley
Research Center. Your imagination will soar as you launch
a rocket, pilot a shuttle, try on wings to feel the lift that
makes things fly, and come face to face with the Apollo
12 Command Capsule that went to the moon.
Afterwards, check into our oceanfront
hotel to freshen up as we head off to dinner at Rockafeller’s
Restaurant.
Day
2:
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before
departing for a day of adventure. Stop at the Nauticus,
a maritime science museum that celebrates the economic, naval,
and natural power of the sea. It features hands-on exhibits, wide
screen high-definition films, theaters with live actors, shark
touch, and national-caliber traveling exhibits.
Nauticus is also home to the Battleship
Wisconsin, the Hampton Roads Naval Museum,
and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA). Enjoy some time at MacArthur Mall with lunch
on your own.
Afterwards,
enjoy a fascinating and entertaining commentary aboard the Navy-themed
vessel The Victory Rover Naval Base Cruise. Don’t
forget to check out the ship’s store.
Return to the hotel to freshen up
for dinner at Waterman’s Restaurant.

and more.
Afterwards,
visit the Lee Hall Mansion, an Italianate mansion
constructed around 1850 by wealthy planter Richard Decauter Lee.
Now restored to its pre-Civil War
splendor, the home served as a Confederate headquarters during
the 1862 Peninsula Campaign.

Head off to Boxwood Inn Dinnertainment
for “Liberty Call! Liberty Call!”
A tribute to the dramatic years of the 1940’s and the women
who won the war. With the men in uniform and the women in period

time when the country was united as never before. Enjoy songs

the Apple Tree,” and “The White Cliffs of Dover.”
