On Thursday, June 19, we visited the Douglas MacArthur Memorial honoring the World War II Five-Star Army General who was born in Norfolk. We followed the self-guided tour through the Rontunda housing the tombs of the General and Mrs. MacArthur and then the nine galleries highlighting his career with murals, interative exhibits, awards, objets d'art, maps, photographs, models, and other personal curios including his corncob pipe. We also visited the gift shop which displays his 1950 Chrysler Imperial limousine which he used from 1950 until his death in 1964. For lunch, we walked across the street to the MacArthur Center, a huge mall with about 150 shops including Dillards and Nordstrom's and then walked the three blocks back to the marina.
