The first day of our road trip in March, we started early so we reached Ocean City, Maryland just in time for lunch! Too bad most of the restaurants were still closed for the season - as it turned out, we (and a lot of other people) arrived on one of the first sunny days since fall.
Driving further South, we got to experience the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, a 20 mile long bridge which turns into a tunnel twice... quite impressive!
At sunset, we reached our first motel in the Outer Banks, perfect location to start the next morning early with a walk in Jockey's Ridge State Park. The dunes in the pretty morning light made the photographer in me very happy! (I'll spare you all the arty-farty pictures though). We also stopped in Kitty Hawk to visit the birthplace of modern flight, the location where the Wright brothers managed to take their airplane up in the air for the very first time...
As the weather was still quite chilly in this region, we decided to drive down to Georgia as quickly as possible. However, we did make a detour to have some genuine pulled pork at Parker's BBQ in Greenville, North Carolina. My pulled pork sandwich set us back for the whopping amount of $2.78 - "Toto, I've got a feeling we are not in New York City anymore"!
In the evening, we arrived in Savannah, Georgia... and we realized very soon that this is a wonderful, mysterious city! I don't know if it is because of the Spanish moss hanging from the trees, the old houses, the many town squares, the spooky Bonaventure cemetery, the delicious food of Mrs Wilkes Boarding House or the friendly people, but I definitely developed a sweet spot for this beautiful place. So much so, that we will visit it again during our road trip in June.
