LEAVING MOSQUITO LAND

We have enjoyed the solitude of Virginia Landing, but, there are a couple of things we'll be glad to put behind us. The first thing that we won't miss, are the mosquito's. We have lived in Alaska, and we never had to deal with the little ba@#%___, like we have here. Even with the generous use of Off, our legs and arms are covered with itchy, little bites. The second thing we won't miss, (as the picture shows), is having to wade through standing water whenever we step out of the motor home. This started 2 days ago, when the rain came in buckets, and didn't let up for about 36 hours. As I watch the sunrise this morning, the partly cloudy skies are a good sign that our drive south may not be as wet as I thought it was going to be.
Our plan yesterday was to not venture out, due to the weather. However, about mid morning, we decided that this was the only day we would have, to check out a couple of things in Norfolk. So, we quickly gathered a few things, loaded Sami in the Jeep, and made one stop at the little post office to mail a package to Lori East. When Patty came out, she said we may want to re-think the drive to Norfolk. The lady in the post office had just driven north across the Chesapeake Bridge, from Norfolk, and said that it was awful, bordering on very scary. It was still raining and ugly, so we decided that the scenery wouldn't be worth the drive, and that we would be taking the same route today. The only problem today, is that we won't have the time to stop in Norfolk. At the start of this trip, we both understood that we couldn't see or do everything, and that despite a few adversities, we would take advantage of all the opportunities we could. Now, if I can just move the motor home out of Lake Camelot, I'll be a happy camper!
