Greg wants to go to Charles City today because we have not been before and he is curious.
Well after looking at the map etc, he decided there was not much there so we went off to the Virginian Eastern Shore which involves going from Lynhaven (Virginia Beach) over the bridge and through the tunnel to the Eastern Shore. It is 17 miles across that stretch of water and there is a bridge each direction and a tunnel. The views from the bridge are wonderful on a clear day. There are places to stop and look and we took some pictures but photos do not do it justice really. We ended up in Cape Charles for lunch and a look around. It is a quiet, beautiful riverside town (Chesapeake River) and we visited the few shops and then walked along a peaceful beach where we met a lady collecting sea glass which is glass that has been worn by the sea - apparently it is collectable! We have found before that people in small towns here are incredibly friendly. We had a wonderful day and saw coastal Virginia at its best, we won't mention the traffic jams on the way home because they were not too bad. We found ourselves at the cheese shop before we got home.We have had a wonderful day but we can't believe we have travelled almost 200 miles!
The sky tells it all!
