Being on crutches really, REALLY stinks! I'm used to being pretty busy and active, and being confined was tough! Luckily, I have Brittany here! It was a freezing cold day in March and she called to see what I felt like doing. We decided to go for a drive up to the Eastern Shore of Virginia by way of the Chesapeake Bay / Bridge Tunnel. This tunnel is one of the seven engineering wonders of the world and spans almost 18 miles long! It's so strange to drive along the bridge, and then descend into a tunnel and know you are underneath huge barges and ships! It was a gorgeous day, but SO cold...we were dressed like Eskimos! When we got to the other side, we saw that it was completely opposite from Virginia Beach. It was rural and there were beautiful ranch homes and farms, and markets, and little seafood restaurants! We first drove into a Wildlife Refuge and looked at all the birds, and drove to a secluded dock with a beautiful boat tied up. Then we drove on and on and on and found a seafood restaurant outside of a motel and ate some delicious crab legs and had hot drinks! It was a great, adventurous day and I was SO grateful to get out of the house!!!
Later that month, we decided to take Hall along for the trip and show him our new discovery! Although he didn't think it was quite as neat as we did the first time around, we had fun! Brittany packed BLT's and we had a picnic on the pier, where Hall did some (unsuccessful) fishing! The weather was a LOT better though, and again, I got to leave the house! :)
