Florida Day 3

We started our drive to Florida two days ago on January 22nd.  We put the boats on the car and headed for the DelMarVa peninsula and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.  We then made our way to Route 95 at Emporia, VA.  We drove into North Carolina and spent the night in Wilson.  The only traffic we encountered was in downtown Norfolk.  Yesterday we continued the drive down 95 to New Smyrna Beach, FL.  The traffic was light but there were lots of trucks which we tried to avoid since driving behind a truck really causes the boats to bounce around.  We arrived at Ocean Trillium Suites in New Smyrna Beach last evening where we will spend a week.  We woke to thunder storms which dissipated mid-morning.  We had lunch at Boston Fish House then went grocery shopping.  The sun came out and we had a nice walk on the beach this afternoon.  We photographed several birds, including these royal terns.

There were lots of these jellyfish on the beach.  We looked them up when we got back to the room and found they are called cannonball jellyfish.
