Dewey Beach 2012 – The Trip
.
Following our friends
Last Thursday, we returned from our vacation in Dewey Beach with our friends, Tyler and Amy, and their 3 greyhounds. Dewey Beach, Delaware is a little over 700 miles from our home in Indiana, traveling through Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
“Are we there yet?”
Last year, we rented a 15-passenger van and drove together. This year, our friends took their vehicle with their 3 houndies and we took our vehicle with our 3 houndies.
Sometimes we switch positions
Fortunately, the hounds travel very well. They settle in and spend most of the time sleeping.
Following our friends through the tunnel
During the trip, we traverse two engineering marvels. We get to travel through the Allegheny Mountain Tunnel which was constructed in 1939. The Alleghenies comprise the rugged western-central portion of the Appalachian Mountain Range.

And travel over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
What a bridge!
Opened in 1952, the bridge is 4.3 miles, shore-to-shore.

Incredible!

Love the way the hounds are soaking up the sun in the car.
I wish our three travelled that well!
Road trip! Definitely looks like a fun time.
Casper, Nikki and Freedom are such good travellers! Amazing! I wish The Dog That Lives Here could be as relaxed. When pigs fly. That bridge is a sight to behold. It goes on forever!
love the photos! Your backseat looks like our backseat!

I love the trip out and back! I’m always fascinated by the tunnel, and always glad when we’re finally over the bridge. Once we get over it, I feel like Dewey must be just around the corner! lol
