Day 19

Sept. 20, 2014

We found 2 more mermaids!  My mom stumbled on one at Rudee Inlet - not sure her name - and a very kind lady saw our article in the paper and let us come see her mermaid (one I thought was missing).  The no longer missing mermaid is the beautiful Spectrum Gold!  I have also learned that I have 2 mermaids to get in Norfolk City Hall - Carousel and a Neighborhood mermaid - and a mermaid inside a downtown BB&T (not sure which one).  Unfortunately, I will probably have to wait until Christmas break to see those due to my work schedule.  I still also have the possible 3 on the Eastern Shore, the 1 on Naval Station Norfolk, Techno Mermaid in InfiNet, and the 2 that are under repair - O'Sullivan's and D'Art.

*update - found Techno Mermaid - see day 26 post

Day 18

Aug 30, 2014

We have come to the end of summer and a wrap of all of the known mermaids I could find.  All in all, we found 87 official mermaids and 10 unofficial mermaids.  There are still 8 I have been unable to get - O'Sullivan's because she is under repair, D'Art because she is also under repair, InfiNet's mermaid because she is under lock and key and I have been unable to reach them to find out how I can see her, Norfolk City Hall lobby because I have been unable to go at a time when they are open, 1 on Naval Station Norfolk that I am unable to see because I cannot get on base, and a reported 3 in Cape Charles on the Eastern Shore - I have yet to make it up there.  I have also put in a call to 2 businesses, however they won't return my call - Sherry with Rose & Womble for the Rotunda, and the owner of Lifestyle Motor Group.  Hopefully I will hear from them soon.  I will post again when and if I find them or if I find new ones.  Here are some unofficial mini mermaids we did find:
