On the drive down, we drove across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. The highway soars high above the bay for several miles then plunges deep beneath the bay down a steep tunnel for another mile or so. The highway then rises out of the tunnel and again perches above the bay. My photos don't do the bridge/tunnel justice.
The further south we drove the greener our surroundings became.
We drove out to the outer banks. Lots of sand and sun. The water was still too cold for swimming.
Our crabby friend.
We had to pull over for this one.
