I too am going on a vacay this Saturday! Ill be headed up to Richmond to see family, then my family wants to pay a visit to Norfolk to see the botanical gardens, then 2-3 days in Williamsburg.
The botanical gardens are an awesome place to visit! You will enjoy it.
Hopefully it cools down just a little by the time you make it here. High at the airport was 100 and at Norfolk Naval Air Station was 103.
Williamsburg is nice..I really enjoy the place , it's historic and Busch Gardens is nearby too. If ur in Norfolk, u gotta take the naval base cruise. I loved the up close views of the battleships! Certainly something not to miss
The historic sections are wonderful to visit. Taking the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry (which is free) takes you on a scenic route to Colonial Williamsburg and the restored Jamestown settlement.
The naval cruises are also a really rewarding opportunity. Not to expensive and you get to tour Norfolk on the water and see the largest naval base in the world! Also Norfolk recently purchased the Battleship Wisconsin, one of the largest and last battleship ever constructed. You can now tour under the decks and all through the ship!
