Got us a room on the beach in Virginia beach. Been here a while, just driving around checking out the area. Very close to the pier, but it's so windy I doubt we fish.

It's so appropriate that Tiff collects lighthouses.

I agree. I bought her 2 at outer banks. It's what i was gonna do in Florida for a late anniversary gift

This is mainly why I wanted to come, to drive underwater in the tunnel . Tiffany and little bit were a little nervous, but they thought it was cool. Bridge is 15.8 miles from one end to the other (according to our odometer), I didn't measure the two parts where you go underwater, but I'd guess a mile and a half each. You go under twice both ways.

When I was updating our Sunday school class a few weeks ago, I told them she was the most beautiful lighthouse I'd ever seen.

OMG! Memories! My mom is from eastern shore VA, and we had to take that bridge to get to family. Always stopped at the midway point gift shop for ice cream.

Northern lights over the Atlantic gulf! Saw people back home posting, and stepped outside to take pictures

 

[Behr]

Atlantic Gulf. Lulz.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Had a few people show photos of the lights on the Island near me, but couldn’t see them where I am.

I was hoping you'd see that, almost tagged you

Been a while since we saw this, beautiful. Gotta get ready to head home now

Couldn’t see the Aurora from my yard. Neighbor shared a pic from his mobile phone, said that it could capture what our human eyes couldn’t discern through the light pollution.

If you’re still there this afternoon and have five hours to kill, go check out the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel during rush hour. It’s only about 15 minutes away, but the bridge tunnel traffic will take up your other 4 1/2 hours. You can literally sit under water if you get “lucky”.

Wish I had known you were going to my second home. Would’ve recommended you eating at Chick’s Oyster Bar. My favorite seafood restaurant. And, as someone who has spent a lot time in the Chesapeake Bay Area, can confirm they have the best crab cakes anywhere

I'm pretty sure we drove by that last night driving down tiwards the end of the beach area where we were. There was a chicjs, a waterman, but we ended up eating on the pier. Only because we wanted to try fishing, but wind was too much.
