After having lived in much larger cities, namely Phoenix, Denver and Baltimore, it was a bit of an adjustment to get the family used to Suffolk and Hampton Roads. Once here, the area was overall very rural and country-fied despite being made up of seven different cities. Lots of saltwater activites are available, wide open spaces and puddles of city atmosphere dot the area. Far from "big city" but not really small town, especially Norfolk. Traffic is, like many places, horrific, with rudeness ruling the day (even though metro DC takes the East Coast title). Once you're out of your car everyone gets along very well, race is not an issue, and there are lots of things to do.
