Flight

Norfolk International Airport

This is the closest airport to us. This would put the hotel we have a room block at about halfway between the airport and the wedding locations.

Travel Note

Old fashion directions to the church

The address is 700 Willeyton Rd, Gates, NC 27979. Unfortunately, Google Maps is not the most reliable to get there from Suffolk. The easiest way is to take 32/13 past Southside Baptist Church and Speedway. You'll go straight on 13 when the road forks by the Suffolk airport. Follow that road until the speed limit drops to 45. You'll turn left onto Great Fork. (Careful, because that 35 zone can be a speed trap.) You will follow that road the rest of the way. Don't turn or anything. At one point there is somewhat of a fork, just keep right and follow the double yellow lines. You'll go through woods and fields and feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. You're okay because you're supposed to be in the middle of nowhere. You'll cross into NC and keep going. When you see the Gates County water tower on your right, you are close. When the speed goes from 45 back to 55 you'll see a big steel building in the middle of a field that claims to be a church. Congrats because you made it!
