Here I was thinking this thread would get 3 replies.
It was a just a 3 day, 2 night trip, but we flew during the days so all we really had were most of 2 nights to explore. The first night we went down to Fort Monroe and ate at Deadrise. Pretty good seafood and it seems like it would have a kick ass view during the day. After that we went down to Marker 20 and had a few drinks. The next night, we ate at Venture and had some really good pizza and homemade tots. I wish we would have had more time to explore during the day, but such is life as aircrew. The only time we'll have "off" on a trip is if our plane breaks.
On another note, I was kind of surprised how sparse the development was in downtown Hampton. I realize it's a small town, but with all the population on the peninsula, especially up towards Newport News, and the AF/Navy crowd, you'd figure Hampton would be ripe for new development. The downtown has a lot of potential but it just isn't there yet.
