Chesapeake Bay Bridge




Amazing design and build work - a bridge that spans 17.6 miles and takes you under the water twice through tunnels. It links the eastern shore of VA with the mainland. The bridge eliminates a 95 mile inland drive to get from the Maryland area to VA. I didn't know we were only 60 miles from the Maryland border when we got on the bridge/tunnel. It is a toll road and it is $12 one way and if you come back within 24 hours another $5. You can get out at a scenic look and take a picture of where you are going. Then it was on to Colonial W'burg. We got tickets, saw the film about the making of a Patriot. We went to the Marketplace for dinner and are ready for a big day tomorrow, I love American History.
PS - Happy Birthday to Aunt Joyce today!
