Join us in wishing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🥳🥳

This amazing marvel of modern engineering turned SIXTY earlier this week!

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel opened to traffic on April 15, 1964, creating a southern option for those looking to leave the peninsula for Hampton Roads, Virginia and points south. Before its existence, you could only get to via ferry!

Rayfield's isn't just your standard pharmacy, it's a wonderful blast from the past. A little bit of Norman Rockwell nostalgia right here in !

Located on the corner of Fig St. and Mason Ave., you can stop in and sit at the counter or in a cozy booth for a vanilla coke or a malted milkshake, grab one of their yummy breakfast and lunch specials, pick up a few gifts, and yes, they can even fill your prescription!

Beautiful morning on Church Creek! 😎

This is awesome!

The CBBT! Aerial view just after sunrise of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, Fishermans Island, and in the distance, Smith Island and the Cape Charles Light. The lighthouse, standing at 191 ft., is the second tallest lighthouse in the country.

Decided to check out Cape Charles last night for one of their Concerts in the Park. Great Music, Great Food, Great Fun!
