We had a pretty long drive to Virginia Beach. Most of it was pretty uneventful. Stops at gas stations and starbucks. We rolled into Virginia Beach pretty late. The traffic was bad. Julie was again having problems with map reading, and trying to figure how an 8 lane highway was just going to end when we got the the beach. It did. It narrowed into two lanes, and ended at a stoplight. We were really tired, and stopped for a quick dinner at a local eatery. We tried to find a state park or someplace to camp along the beach, but those places don't exist in Virginia Beach unless you want to pay the price. We ended up sleeping in the car at a hotel parking lot. Turned out to be just fine. Bob woke up early the morning (as he always does) and started driving. Julie finally emerged from the sleeping bag to find out that we were about to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.
The bridge is one of the 7 engineering wonders of the modern world. It was $12 to cross.
