Heading home

Finally back on the internet for a good session. This has been a long, but very good trip. We've spent time with loved ones; seen new places and things; met new people; and learned lots. Sometimes we just manage to get a bunch of good stuff into one package. But we're ready to be on the down side and headed home.

We left Crisfield about noon today and headed down the Delmarva Peninsula. We crossed over and under the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel. It's a great piece of engineering, and good to drive. We got settled into a motel in Norfolk and gave Jesse a call.

We took him out for a steak and a beer, and some catch-up about his life in the Navy. He's such a sweetie - and looks great!

With some suggestions from Jesse, we've figured out a different route home (I-85 to I-40 to I-75), and plan to tough it all out tomorrow (weather and traffic conditions permitting). It looks like we're in for some rain, but hopefully it won't be too bad. We do know the area fairly well, so we can always bail out if need be.
