Jamie Lynn made the drive down to Norfolk to visit Lee and I this weekend. Jamie is a grad student at Ohio University (NOT Ohio State University) and she has close to TWO months off for Christmas. Insane!
Jamie got in on Friday evening. She had to go through the Hampton Bridge/Tunnel and she was not a big fan. Apparently the thought of being under water freaked her out.
On Friday we decided to take our friend Tom's yacht to downtown Norfolk to hit up the bars at Waterside. This is the best way for Tom to avoid driving drunk... Take your house TO the bars!! It also means that we can booze it up on the way. Unfortunately for Jamie, it meant that we now went OVER the Hampton Bridge/Tunnel. She didn't like being on top of the tunnel either...

We parked his boat at the marina and made our way to The Southern Star. This is a country bar that is pretty new. It isn't as good as the dueling piano bar that used to be there... We drank and tried to learn some line dances. Jamie got some unwanted dance lessons from some dude decked out in cowboy gear. Jamie wasn't familiar at the two-step. This made for a pretty funny scene. Especially at one point when Jamie knocked the cowboy's hat off with some of her "dance moves". What was strange about the bar was that the best line dancer in the place was black and the guy that was on the dance floor the most was Asian. Not too many country bars can say that!! We ended up sleeping on Tom's boat and taking a cab home the next morning.
Saturday we were in a world of pain. Ouch. We ended up lounging most the day and watching Lost. We did rally a little late in the evening and turned Lost into a drinking game. Every time they say "Jack" take two drinks (Jamie wanted to do a shot of Jack. We would have died.), everytime they say "island" take one, everytime they say "run" take one drink, etc.
Sunday we decided to do some sightseeing. We went to Cape Henry which is apparently where the folks that settled Jamestown first landed in 1607. We toured the old lighthouse there and checked out the sights.

Jamie wanted to see Virginia Beach (even though it was about 50 degrees out). We went down to the strip and grabbed a bite to eat then walked on the beach. It was super windy out and there were TONS of surfers out! Insane! They must have been freezing their tushes off!!
We also hit up the Navy Exchange for some good tax-free deals before heading home to watch the SURVIVOR finale!! (Stupid Todd!)
