2013 Vacation - Eastern Shore

On Wednesday we headed to the Baltimore/DC area after dropping Erik's mom off at the airport.  We took the very scenic route there....through Eastern Shore.  It was such a good relaxing drive.  I love road trips with my handsome husband.  It's so good to talk and see new things with him.  LOVE him.

 See - super handsome!  Breakfast at Cracker Barrel.
 Virginia Beach where I got splashed on by that stinky water behind me.
 Still Virginia Beach in the background.
 Chesapeake Bay
 Getting ready to go over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge tunnel.  LOVE IT!!!  Two tunnels and a super long bridge over the bay.  Just getting ready to hit the Eastern Shore.
 Looking out over the Atlantic.
 Still can't believe that we got to see to raceways on our trip.  This is Dover International Speedway and we are standing in the winners circle.
 The best place to sit at the raceway.....right over the track.  There is also a corner there so there is lots of action if you sit there.
 Turn 1 and 2
 Erik became the master of self-portraits.  Thanks goodness for his long arms.
 We knew that Dover speedway had this but we couldn't find it anywhere.  As we were leaving, Erik said, "Let's go this way" and look what we found.
 Monster Mile baby!!!!
 Erik wanted to find these fire towers on the Eastern Shore.  They were on the beach in Delaware.  They were so cool.  The US used them during World War II to pinpoint where ships were so we could drop bombs on them.  We would have loved to go up inside them but the doors were cemented over.
 Perspective of how tall they were.
 Kind of a cool shot.
 Testing out the Atlantic ocean in Delaware.  Super soft sand, less people, not stinky water, but cold water.
 LOVE this man!
 Another fire tower that we couldn't figure out how to get over to.
 Evening in the country on our scenic drive.
 A cool bridge we went over before we headed into Baltimore.
Same bridge.
