    For the future, that little rest area right after you get off the bridge/tunnel allows 48 hour boondocking. It's super safe because there are Virginia State troopers across the street at the bridge head quarters. There are some trails you can hike in the back of the parking lot and it takes you to some old abandoned military barracks and it also has some really amazing vistas overlooking the bay. It's a really amazing little spot.

    I am truly enjoying following your travels. Glad you were able to tour the Wisconsin and see what your son Ethan is experiencing. Are your twins off to college or also in the military? Enjoy all of your upcoming adventures. We've had so many cruises and trips cancelled due to Covid, hurricanes, and now knee issues, so watching your videos has kept me going.

    I was so surprised to see you in Virginia Beach, we were there a few weeks ago and got our picture taken with king neptune. The boardwalk is such fun especially at night. We have also camped at first landing, we took a pizza out on the wooden walkway and watched the waves as we ate. We sailed on the American rover (sailboat) and toured all the navel ships. We also did the Chesapeak bay bridge. I really enjoyed this video. I so envy you touring the country in an RV.

    Geedunk: the place on a ship where candy and other snacks may be purchased. The snacks may be called geedunk. Geedunk may be a pejorative word for an inexperienced sailor. " I was at the geedunk and bought some geedunk from that boot geedunk."
    BTW, wood decks usually were teakwood. Read up on holystone and prayerbooks to clean a ship's wood deck (and that is why today's Sailors and Marines do not complain about chip & paint of metal decks).
    And, short answer without lots of lecturing about the physics of ships at sea, some WWII battleships had upward curved decks supposedly to make them more seaworthy and hopefully stable when moving at greater than 21 knots while positioning during battle.

    I been down in the tunnel on the Chesapeake Bridge Tunnel when a ship was crossing above me. If you take a cruise from Baltimore, the cruise ship goes over that tunnel that you were in.

    I enjoyed this so much. We live in the southeast area of WV and love going to Virginia Beach and Myrtle Beach. Your camping spot was perfect. We have been on the Wisconsin and enjoyed it as much as the two of you did. Whenever we are in that area we enjoy going over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Even though it costs a bit, it's always fun since we are land locked in West Virginia. Looking forward to your adventures in Maryland. I believe y'all said that you went to Ocean City Maryland. That's where we went when I was growing up. I grew up in the Washington DC area. Maybe one day y'all can spend some time in Washington DC. There is so much to see there! Safe travels!

    • @EECCTravels
      @EECCTravels  3 роки тому

      Ooh I don't know if I could do that bridge again!! It was crazy! Yes, we loved Ocean City, one of the trips highlights. We would love to visit DC... just not in the RV... unless we can find an RV park with a shuttle :)

    Thanks for the great video guys. Awesome about your son. Norfolk looks totally different then when me my brother his girlfriend and our friend that was in the Navy(his car was at the base) hitchhiked they're from Co. In the 70's when we were teenagers.. since we were from Colorado haven't spent much time at a beach we stayed about a month with our friend that was stationed there. I loved the beach and at that time it had a really cool amusement park on it... It's long gone😪 As always safe and happy travels💗 p.s I can't resist the fudge Shoppe's either 😆

    I had to add another comment. I could have swore there was huge Windows in that tunnel in the 70s. Maybe there's a different tunnel I don't know? 😆 I also don't remember King Neptune. I looked on the sign there was no date when it was put there? I must admit I liked it way better when the amusement park was there only thing that look the same with the water & the sand.lol oh yeah and that 1st Boardwalk you went to that wasn't built up with all those restaurants and all that. Yes It was a very touristy place at the time as it still is. But back then it was lined with nothing but drunk sailors LOL true story

    Hey guys for your next adventure I have an apple phone which doesn’t matter what kind of phone you have. But I have this app it is called my radar. And it is free! It is spot on it shows a little blue dot where you are and you can literally watch and see if the rain or whatever is gonna come over where your location is how fast it moves in what direction. Now you can upgrade it and pay but I’ve never upgraded because it’s always giving me the information that I want to know. But I tell you what it definitely definitely will help you in making decisions and planning your day. And you can pretty much see when the storms are coming and how much time you have before they get to where you are it’s pretty awesome

    The way to pronounce Norfolk is part dirty word: Norfuck is how the natives say it. Take it from a native.
