Or you could drive to Virginia Beach and take the bridge-tunnel. Now THAT is a freak show. In bad weather it feels like you are driving straight into the ocean

Swim across the bay - easy peasy.

Me too. I feel like I am going to pass out especially with screaming kids in the car.

I drive white knuckled in the middle lane when crossing the bridge and that's only if I have to.
Yup me too.

Agreed. Otherwise you have to drive all the way up to Delware and then come down the peninsula, which will make the drive much longer.
Should note it’s not the actual bridge staff that does it, it’s a for-pay service through a private company, I think it costs $30.
Wow, learn something new every day. Is this a service specifically for people who feel uncomfortable driving on the bridge? Never heard of that before, here or anywhere else.
My senior citizen mom has the bridge staff drive her car (she said it was the NJ state police, not sure though) across the Del Mem bridge a few years ago.

Go north to Wilmington, DE and come south (bridge or tunnel in Baltimore). Go south to Norfolk, and come up the ESVA.

Travelling from Tyson's corner, is there a route that we can skip driving over the bridge as I am scared of heights
