JUST DRIVING

Yesterday was an "on the road" day. During our drive south out of Pennsylvania, we drove through portions of 4 states, PA, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Two of the states we drove through, are amongst the smallest, so a multiple state drive was not a big deal. We arrived at Virginia Landing Thousand Trails, which sits at the end of a small Peninsula, right on the Atlantic Ocean. We got here late in the afternoon, so haven't had time to check out the beach and what are supposed to be, some excellent clam beds. In fact, when we checked in, a clam shovel was part of the process. Since I'm not a huge seafood fan, me thinks that Miss Patty will be the one walking in the mud, searching for whatever lurks below the surface. We have discovered very quickly, that there are an abundance of mosquito's and no see ums here. This morning, I forgot to use the bug spray while Sami and I took our morning walk, and we both were the recipients of more than a few mosquito bites. I guess with any good, there's always going to be a little bad. I was pleasantly surprised to find that our Sprint Card works fine here, and we really are kind of isolated. This being the Labor Day weekend, I expected most places to be full of people. That's certainly not the case here, which is one of those good things. We'll be here (about 45 miles north of Norfolk, across the Chesapeake Bridge/Tunnel), 4 more nights, then, we will be traveling south to Augusta, GA, for a visit with our son Mike, and his wife Amy.
