Our trip begins

We have finally started our cross country adventure.  We spent our last three days in Chesapeake at the Navy Gateway Inns and Suites at Northwest Annex. It was nice, but weird.
They NGIS has offices and buildings separate,  so it makes it impossible to run down to the front desk.
But we did take advantage of the free laundry and the kitchen.
We hit the road this morning and are trying to make up time lost stuck I traffic.

Navy Gateway Inns and Suites

We started before our move by staying at the Navy Gateway Inns and Suites on Northwest Annex. I realize this isn't a regular hotel, so I can't really review it for traveling purposes, but I wanted to make a few notes about it and attach some pictures anyway. 

Northwest Annex is a super small base, but it is in the same city where we were living. So it seemed to be the best choice. 
But honestly, we chose it because it was a kitchenette room and it had free laundry. So we got to wash up all of our dirty clothes before hitting the road. 

It was nice enough for the two of us, but Navy Gateway Inns and Suites are designed more for single or couples, the room was definitely not designed for a family. 

Overall our stay was just fine, we stayed there after our stuff got packed and loaded while we were waiting to leave. 
My only complaint would be that the rooms with only one bed only had a queen, but again, the NGIS is mostly targeted towards single one person travel situations.
