We left Vermont before the snow and came home to nothing left on the ground. We wore short sleeve shirts with an occasional light sweater, and enjoyed lots of sunshine. Even so, we both noted that we missed seeing the mountains and the Vermont skies. The further we went the flatter the land became, but then too, there were still colored leaves hanging on many trees in southern Virginia. I have included lots of Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel shots because as a young Navy wife, I was pretty much terrified of going under the water in the tunnels, and even saved my coins so that we could pay the toll to finally face my fear. Now I am just fascinated by the whole idea of how these tunnels and bridges were built.

The first time we travelled on this bridge-tunnel we stopped in the
middle for ice cream and then headed back. It still amazes me
that we drove out there and had a snack. |

In the background is the other end of one of the tunnels. The
large ships can pass over the tunnels to head into Norfolk. |

All the white spots are boats with fisherman trying for the catch
of the day. |
