We continued to Maryland and stopped for the night in another park. It rained until the next day non-stop, so we just kept on going toward Virginia to meet, that's right, another one of Misha's cousins. On the way we visited Wallop - NASA rocket launching facility and visitor center.
We had lunch in a great seafood restaurant. On the wall there was a world map hanging, with coins and bills from many countries. They already had Brazilian and Israeli bills so Misha donated Israeli coins and the kids had the honor taping them to the map
We crossed Chesapeake Bay bridge tunnel from Delmarva peninsula to Virginia. The bridge tunnel is 20 mile long. The bridge part of it goes above the ocean and there are 2 artificial islands where the road goes into a tunnel underneath the water. Scary to think you're driving under the ocean. The weather was pretty bad and later we heard that the day before it was closed due to bad weather conditions.
Cousin Dorothy is living in Norfolk, a city known for its naval's largest station. Right behind Dorothy's house there's a naval museum where a huge battleship is parking.
We spent the night by the waterfront near Dorothy's apartment
This morning we went up for breakfast (while the kids were still asleep)
After breakfast we said goodbye to Misha. He took a bus to Washington DC and we went west to Shenandoah. The sun came out and it became warm finally! We're expecting a nice weekend in this area.
