Eastern Shore

Today we decided to go for a drive. It was a lot of fun. In Virginia the have a peninsula that is only connect to VA by a bridge tunnel that is 14 miles long. It has two tunnels and Three sections of bridges.

After the first section of bridge coming from Norfolk there is a fishing pier and restaurant. We stopped there and walked down the pier.

Then we drove the remaining of the way, on the Eastern shore they have a wildlife preserve that also had an old Army bunker from the war.  We just walked a few trails and one led to a salt marsh overlook.

At the end of our walking we just found a bench to have some lunch.

The Eastern Shore is nothing like the greater Norfolk/ Virginia Beach area. The homes are old farm houses with at least an acre surrounding each one. We only passed one major grocery store, but a ton of little roadside kiosks for Fireworks, ham, and bacon (all in one).

We loved our little trip.
