Hi everyone!
We have been in Virginia Beach, Virginia, for the last 4 days and hanging out while the boys catch up on some school work. They have been planted at the Great Neck Public Library, using the internet to get their work done. We went for almost a week with no internet and no school done except for 1 1/2 hours in New Haven. We are spending this afternoon at the beach, which is amazing and almost 3 miles long! It is a resort oceanfront area with Atlantic Avenue lined with hotels, restaurants, and souvenier shops. I would definitely love to come here in the summer, apparently most tourists are from Washington and NYC. I got a haircut at a trendy shop on 31st which I like very much, although I feel like I have cheated on my beloved Christina, who has done my hair for so long. The other cool thing here in the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel.
It is 17 1/2 miles long, has 2 tunnels a mile long each, with a manmade island at each entrance and exit underwater, totalling 4. The bridge was built in 1964 and replaced a 2 hour ferry ride, it allows the ships to pass (Norfolk has a large naval base and air force base). Now that is what we could use on the island! Better than just a bridge! Oh and that reminds me, I know habituation takes at least 21 days, so if you live by a train, say after 3 weeks, it should not bother you so much, well here, the roar of the F18 fighter jets is persistent and pervasive. I don't think I could ever get used to it! it is louder than thunder and more frequent, they fly all the time it would seem!
