My husband and I moved to the area and needed to find a new CrossFit Gym. We checked out a few…read moreplaces but ultimately chose CFC because we liked the small class sizes and the one on one attention from the coaches. Most classes usually have somewhere between 4 and 10 people in them, which is a good size! The coaches really get to know you and are constantly helping you improve your form and do the movements safely - and of course pushing you too. They do their own programming in house and I find I'm constantly being challenged by each workout. On the weekends sometimes they do events like Muscles and Margaritas which are open to the public and is always a fun time. Get a workout in, make some friends, and enjoy a beverage. I definitely recommend checking them out whether you're looking to join a new gym or you're here on vacation and need to drop in, the owners are super friendly and I know you'll enjoy your time there!

I am going to visit as many as I can before I move next month. That is my last parting gift to Suffolk.** Neighborhood Park #2 out of 14 I had no idea that Cypress Park and Pool (CPP) even existed. CPP is located close to John F. Kennedy Middle School but tucked away off Hollywood Avenue. The only public pool in Suffolk was opened in 2011 by Parks and Recreation. According to the city's website, CPP has 30.6-acres, which is quite large for a neighborhood park. I'm thinking part of it must be included in the walking trail that goes into the woods. *Basketball court *Horseshoe pits *2 Picnic Shelters *Grills *Walking Trail *Playground *Lots of open, grassy fields *Restrooms *Outdoor Swimming Pool *Swim lessons *Party rentals (call for more info: 514-7250) When I arrived at CPP around 10 a.m. on a weekday, there was not one person there. Because it was empty and the trail looked hidden, I did not check out it by myself.

Mr. Doan was easy to communicate with and he was very amicable and clearly knew his stuff. At first I thought there was going to be a big learning curve but he jumped right into it and was quick to show us things that we needed to learn, know, and process. He had a vast array of safety supplies for us to use and a bunch of different styles of bows and arrows for us to sample. Then after the training session, we were able to tour the place as it had horses and other animals that made the afternoon complete.

Working with Suffolk Skydive was a five-star experience. From the initial online application to the…read morefinal jump, they were extremely professional. Their website clearly outlines their fees, their guidelines, and their procedures. When I had questions about the weather and the video packages, they answered the phone and quickly responded to my questions and concerns. A few days prior to the experience, they emailed me with instructions, noting the need to watch the safety and procedures video. Once the day arrived for my skydive, I arrived and was quickly greeted by staff. The check in was quick and easy. I then met my expert skydiver, Matt Allen, who was absolutely amazing. He clearly explained the procedures and then harnessed me up for the ride of a lifetime. The staff informed us that there would be a slight delay because of cloud coverage that day. For the novice, this was a very comforting thing. I can not stress enough how fantastic Matt Allen was on this journey, from the pre-flight training to the actual freefall to the smooth landing. I also purchased the picture and video package to commemorate this occasion. My videographer, whose name was Mikel (at least, I think it was), did an outstanding job with the photography and videos. The pre-interview, the in-plane activities, the freefall, and the landing were all included in the package. I am so glad that I purchased these extras. Honestly, I was so in the moment with Matt and Mikel that I didn't remember some of the parts of the experience. The pictures and especially the videos helped jog my memory and will be a great source to help me relive this journey. Thanks again to all the staff at Suffolk Skydive.

This was our first jump and we wanted to do it together. We declined but we were told if we didn't split they wouldn't video the jump. We valued jumping together more than a video so we declined again. Come jump time, one of our instructors wore a camera, another had just filmed a previous jumper and mine put his camera away. Pretty dumb actually because they could have made another 450 bucks. We still have the memories of jumping together, they lost 450 bucks and future clients.

Dismal Swamp State Park has a lot of history. The State Park is in its own section, just down from…read morethe Welcome Center. After you find a place to park, you need to check in with the ranger at the booth, and then you can open the gate to walk across the bridge. From there you can either go on the walking trails or visit the museum building. I just went into the building as I wanted to see the Underground Railroad exhibit but there was just one storyboard so not quite what I expected. I did appreciate the audio of Moses Grandy reading his book. The Great Dismal Swamp was dug by hand by slaves. It was about a million acres when built but now is much smaller. It became part of the Underground Railroad for those going north but was also a place where a community formed as it was easy to hide in the ruggedness and the swamp provided a lot of resources. The exhibits are in the lobby and two rooms and provided a lot of information. The Great Dismal Swamp is in North Carolina and Virginia and is home to wildlife; birds, insects reptiles, trees and plants. 97 species live in the swamp today and 43 species of butterflies. Native Americans first lived there. They lost the land to European settlers. George Washington was one of many that wanted to drain the swamp but the canal was built instead. The 22 mile canal went from Chesapeake VA to South Mills NC. Barges took supplies and people from one end to the other. The canal system stopped being used when railroads started as they were more efficient. I highly recommend checking out this State Park.

I know to expect the unexpected when it comes to navigating the swamp. You may encounter mosquitoes, snakes, a bear--or all three. I had visited the Dismal Swamp State Park as a teenager, but I spent most of my visit on the water. I enjoyed revisiting the park as an adult, and I have to admit I was a bit relieved to hop on the wagon ride. It was a nice way to enjoy being in nature amongst the wildlife without the fear of walking up on any of the animal friends. I also enjoyed learning from the tour guide, especially about the history of moonshine and bootlegging in the past. There were other trails to walk, but they warned visitors that snakes were out, so I decided to pass.
