Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel

The reason we went out on the Eastern shore was the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, it is 20 miles long, it connects North Fork,Virginia Beach, Hampton area to the Eastern Shore which is a Peninsula that hangs down from Maryland but is part of Virginia.

There are several tunnels a few miles long each and the rest is bridge, it was Awesome. It is selected as one of the Seven Engineering Wonders of the Modern World. It is considered the largest bridge-tunnel complex in the world. The hwy has a few places you can get off, the first was Sea Gull Island, it is a man made island and has a restaurant, gift shop, 625 foot fishing pier. I wanted to go fish there, but that will have to be next time too......
this was a picture of the bridge tunnel coming back in and we had a beautiful sun set to watch..

We had dinner in Cape Charles on the Eastern Shore. We were a little early for dinner and so we sat out on their deck and had ice tea. The Restaurant was the Aqua the the food was superb.

The sunset was beautiful, the Atlantic Ocean was on one side and this was the Chesapeake Bay side .

This picture was taken on East Virginia shore, at one of our other camps in Quinby, Virginia. We will stay there another time. We like the camp here at Chesapeake Bay. We have rode our bikes a lot as the park is falter than most of the Thousand Trails camps were we have stayed.

On Monday morning we took the ferry from Jamestown to Stockton, across the James River. We enjoyed the ride and the seagulls were little.... must have been another breed of seagull. We didn't know it at the time but this is where Manuel's family is originally from.

On Sunday we stayed home and I painted an floral painting and cut out quilt squares....tore up three sheets to work into a rug, which I finished Sunday and Monday. Who knows what Manuel did??????? oh I know he put a new fan on the Nissan.... ran to the auto parts store three times..... that did it ..... yah.....
