Day 3 Portsmouth, VA My hometown

Day 3 Portsmouth VA We drove to Portsmouth and went straight to Winter Wonderland at Courthouse Galleries. Click on album to see photos. There are many figures from Coleman's Nursery from when I was a kid including the Wishing well where Dee Dee and Jamie threw pennies and made wishes. Some had been moved to the Children's Museum. Dolls from around the world. We loved the new look of the museum which has been closed for 2 years to renovate it. Lots of old familiar things like the big chair, grocery store, bubble room, and fire truck but many new things like the carnival on the 2nd floor with a giant elephant. And the tugboat where you can go "fishing". And the pretend cow that you can milk. They also had a new section called the Sound and the City. My mom used to open her window and tell Jamie to listen to the sounds of the city every time she spent the night. It was a great memory for me and the kids.
