Found charming downtown Hampton, Virginia, quite by accident. Learning I had 5 days off my NYC longing called to me so needed to locate a bus station. Found the downtown Hampton Greyhound station with adequate free parking so with needs met explored the city.

Hampton is a city of much history. Starting with the Courthouse..

Then there are historic churches and colonial homes.

• 

• 

And a NASA Air and Space Museum,

with a historical carousel in it’s front yard that re-opens April 2020,

• 

• 

plus a marina down the street with very large fishing vessels.

• 

Add to the mix some modern architecture.

Tomorrow: Fort Monroe
