July 2, 2013 - Just before...

Greg left around 6:30 this morning, in the rain - not intense but still wet! 


It only took me an hour to get to the next destination.  The good thing is, as I drove further south, the rain stopped and the skies were clearing.












Interesting places we are "camping" at.  Today we're at a rest area (just before the bridge-tunnel) that allows trucks and RVs to stay for up to 48 hours.  

Can't wait to explore this later today!  

Cancelled on account of rain!  
But after Greg's 43 mile ride today, we did walk briskly (there was lightning & thunder & rain - oh my!) over to the Eastern Shore of Virginia Visitor Center and talked to a very nice lady and gentleman who worked there. They told us all about the wildlife refuge - someone had seen 2 eagles and their nest!  




They also told us about this cool bridge-tunnel we will be going on tomorrow - it's 23 miles long, has parts above and below the water - and after the second rise up to the bridge, they have a restaurant and gift shop (Yay!).  I looked at pics of  it - SO glad Greg will be with me when we cross it!  

Around 8pm....it was nice out again!!!



He's a little blurry 'cause I was so excited to see him there! 
He was about 10 inches long!

  A soft bunny!

There were drops of rain dangling from leaves and branches everywhere...up close, this one looked like it had little sparkling lights...




Greg had seen tons of butterflies here in the morning, but they were no where to be found this evening! (sorry Madeline!) 


Raspberries!  Yum!


Another day with cherished memories...
