Apart from the waterfront, the region has much more to offer. Pay a visit to the Military Aviation Museum, home to one of the world’s largest private collection of vintage WWI and WWII military aircraft. Each have been beautifully restored to their original condition and many are still flown during flight demonstrations. (Breakfast) Begin the day with a tour of the Norfolk Naval Station. This 45-minute tour is conducted by Naval personnel and gives you the opportunity to see the many aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates and amphibious assault ships housed here. Be sure to have your photo ID handy. The General Douglas MacArthur Memorial tells the story of the man and also pays tribute to the many men and women who served with him. After an included dinner downtown, attend the “Hullabaloo,” a pre-Tattoo event with tasty foods, craft beers, music, dance and drill performances, photo-ops and an audience judged piping competition.

It is highly regarded as one of the world’s great tattoos.
