Feb 19, 2017 Virginia Beach

Today we left Dover AFB and headed down the DELMARVA peninsula headed towards Virginia Beach.  We stopped at the Visitors' Center after crossing into Virginia and picked up some brochures and took a picture or two. 

 A few miles down the road and a few turns on back roads, we arrived at the Chatham Vineyards.  It was one of those days where some wine needed tasting. The vineyard is in a great location and right across the street is a house, a little in need of repair, but still in a great location for wine lovers.

In another half hour or so we reached the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnels.  While the toll is a little pricey, it saves over 50 miles getting to the Norfolk area while only saving about a half hour time instead of trips through Baltimore, Washington and Richmond.

With a few hours of time left in the day, we spent them at Virginia Beach and had a little time to grab a meal.  While the area is at a slow time of the year, the temps were in the high 60's and brought out a lot of people.  Many places are still closed for the season including Ben and Jerry's.  The beach area was still sparse but the eating places did much better.

The boardwalk, a skateboard and a little creativity made the day for this guy.

The Festival  Center just off 9th street seemed to be the most popular place of the day.

With the many things to see and do, we decided to make a return visit on the way back North.

Thanks for keeping track of Grammie's whereabouts.
