My family moved to Norfolk when I was in kindergarten, and I danced for Norfolk Parks & Rec all the way up until this year when I went off to college. With the Parks and Rec program, Norfolk Botanical Garden, Nauticus, Norview Park's giant playground, miles of beaches, and the great school system, Norfolk is a perfect place for kids to learn and have fun at the same time.
