Yesterday we left Ocean City and started our way to Richmond, VA. About an hour into the journey we crossed the 23 mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge- Tunnel. I thought it would be scary but it actually wasn't! After we got back onto land we stopped in Norfolk, Virginia for a tour of the Norfolk Naval Base, the largest base in the United States. I learned that it takes 3 years to re-fuel a ship and it can last 25 years without re-fueling. After that we toured the Nauticus War Museum and we got to tour the USS Wisconsin. After all that sightseeing in Norfolk we headed our way to Richmond. We got to our hotel and then went out for supper at Applebees.
