We had a couple of easy days, we went to Philly and saw the Liberty Bell, State House (Independence Hall) and split a cheese steak sandwich from "Sonny's". Oh so many people and soooo much traffic and construction. It is awesome to see the "Car Whisperer" wield that giant Woody Car thru the small streets of Philly! He is an amazing driver!
We headed to Chris and Gina Polizzi's house for a home cooked meal. Oh what a treat! They have kids the same age as our nephews Dominic and Derek and Chris was like "We are the loudest family, sorry" HA! No one is a loud as our nephews and we enjoy every minute with them so we felt right at home! Thank you so much Polizzi family for a fun time and a fantastic meal! We enjoyed our time with you guys!
Today we had a short drive to Virginia Beach across a cool bridge, unfortunately I have had a migraine (No not from the Polizzi kids!) today and wasn't up to hanging out at the beach, plus it is sooooooooooooo windy here, and I know you all know how I love the W I N D ! !
Off to Kitty Hawk tomorrow, I am super excited to go there and see where flying began....
See ya on the Road,
Ter :)
'From the driver's seat...' (yesterday) Easy peasy day....got up and going, heading out of Atlantic City when we came upon a toll road and realized we were out of cash!!! We managed to scrape together enough for two tolls before we found an ATM.
Off to Philly for another 'freedom' day, visiting the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall Park. Didn't stay too long, had another Philly stand-by, a cheese steak sandwich. We split it between us and we were still full! A quick jump on the freeway and we were headed west to Elkton, MD.
We were invited to the beautiful home of National Woodie Club members Chris and Gina Polizzi for a homecooked meal, our first in three weeks! We enjoyed being invited into the family for the evening with their children, seven year old Bella and three year old Anthony. Made us feel right at home, reminding us of when our kids were small. Chris is working on a '49 Ford woodie and has all of the 'ugly' work done with a gorgeous Cobra Ford engine installed (he started it!) along with a Fatman front clip. He's presently working on his wood and doing a fabulous job on his brightwork. It'll be a lovely car when it's finished.
A short jaunt down the freeway and we arrived in Dover DE for the night. Tomorrow is another easy day down the coast to Virginia Beach to relaaaaaax......
(Today) We drove south on US 13 through Delaware and Maryland, finishing the drive in Virginia Beach. US 13 is a four lane highway with lots of character along the way....my favorite kind of road. The coolest part of the drive was the Chesapeake Bridge/Tunnel. It's a low bridge crossing the bay for 20+ miles, but near the Virginia side the bridge turns into a tunnel in two places! The military and commercial ships need a place to pass the bridge so rather than building a high structure the road dives under the water...way cool! It was a very nice road with light traffic but it cost $12 to cross....much quicker than a ferry so it's a bargain!
Tomorrow we'll travel along the coast to the Outer Banks to visit Kitty Hawk, where the world changed one morning....it's awesome to stand there and realize 'this is where it happened'...and end up in Raleigh, NC.
