Back on the road

We are in Virginia Beach! 

I can't believe I drove under the ocean!  I also couldn't believe that I passed Jamestown and Williams burg, West Point and huge navy ships on the last leg of this trip.  What an historic part of the country I am in.

Decatur, our gentle giant, was so excited to see us.  A hundred thirty pounds of bouncing doggie is something to see.

His mother wanted to go back without going through the mountains, but I think we have decided that is just not feasible, so we are packing up the car and will be back on the road later today for the trip to Illinois.
