Vacation pictures: Norfolk

Owen had a great time swimming in the ocean (or rather entry to the Chesapeake), although after five minutes in the water he was stung by a jellyfish. The next day he got right back in, though.







The kids also had fun playing with a supersize chess board near Dad's house.







Alexandra and me at the Norfolk Tides game. We were fortunate enough to see a game the Tides won, although they have a pretty miserable record this year. We saw their star player, Lastings Milledge, play, and by the time we got to New York a few days later he had been called up to the Mets. (Apparently his name is because his parents intended him to be the last child. I'm not sure whether it worked out or not.)






We went to the naval museum in Norfolk, where Owen enjoyed petting a shark. The rest of us begged off that one.
