On Friday, August 29, Jane and I toured the Hunter House, a Victorian Home that houses the belongings of the family including furniture, decorative pieces, quilts, stained glass windows, lighting fixtures, etc.

Jim joined us for lunch at the Pagoda Garden Tea House & Gallery, pictured, which was a gift to the Commonwealth of Virginia from the Provincial Government of Taiwan of the Republic of China in 1989 to celebrate trading ties. The koi pond is the largest on the East Coast!

Since we had to walk past the USS Wisconsin to get back to the boat, Jane decided she wanted to see the warship up close after reading about it on our blog.

At 5 PM, Jim, Jane and I rode the Victory Naval Base Cruise which all of us enjoyed. Even though Jim and I had done this in June, the tour is different as different ships are in port. We went to 456 Fish for dinner and I had the best-ever crab cakes.
