Eat Mor Chikin'

I’m pretty excited today, we are headed for Hampton, VA which is near Virginia Beach. I’ve never been in that part of Virginia before nor over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge so I am really looking forward to that. Although it’s a very gloomy and overcast day, not good at all for picture taking, I’ll give it my best shot.

We delivered at our stop in Bethlehem, PA first thing this morning and we were back on our way within an hour. The streets of Bethlehem are the old fashioned narrow, tight streets found in all your older north eastern cities. Joe maneuvers us carefully and professionally through some pretty tight corners. Its very apparent that these streets were constructed before the use of these larger trucks and trailers. The campus at Lehigh University is right smack in the middle of the city and the campus is getting a major overhaul with several new buildings.

The two tunnels joining the thirds of the Chesapeake Bridge were very interesting, unfortunately the fog is heavy enough to warrant posting fog cautions.

We find the construction site at the Santerra Hospital in Hampton, VA with no problem. We’re told to park in the lot for the night, our crane will be in at about 8 tomorrow morning.

We walk approximately a mile to a Chick-Fil-A for dinner (Love those Cows!) , one of our favorite fast food restaurants. Thank goodness it isn’t Sunday, for those of you that aren’t familiar with, Chick-Fil-A does not allow any of their franchises to be open on Sundays. The food is good, as always, and Joe enjoys his favorite hand spun shake.
Its not your usual fast food eatery, from the vase of fresh flowers on every table, to the options for FF’s like fresh fruit, raisin carrot salad and chicken soup.

We make it back to the truck just as the rain begins. Good thing I didn’t go to Barnes and Noble after all.
