80 Days of Summer for Bob - Days #53 & #54

Monday and up early for a swim in the ocean from our ocean side room. Can life get any better than a morning 'toe-in-the-water' experience.


Into the car, north from North Carolina into Virginia to cross Chesapeake Bay via the 24 mile long 'bridge-tunnel' system (yes since we were back in Virginia the cost to cross was $28). It is a unique experience to be driving on a bridge and then ducking under the water as an ocean going vessel is crossing above you.



The rest of Monday saw us journey through Maryland, Delaware, and finally into New Jersey for the night.

Tuesday was 11 hours of Interstate driving - beginning with a massive traffic jam caused by the closure of the Washington bridge as we attempted to by-pass New York City.
