Fish House Island

Today was finally a beautiful day, but it was a short run (and still really cold) from the KOA to Virginia Beach for breakfast at a great little family-owned place called Scrambles. I hung out for a while enjoying the music, lots of Billy Joel and 90s Alternative, then I went to my hotel, where I was able to check in very early (noon-ish). I did laundry, then said hi to a riding buddy I met last year who is also in town for the HOG rally. Did I mention that's why I'm here?

Tomorrow is the beginning of the first Harley Owners Group (HOG) Touring Rally of 2022: Run to the Sun. We leave Virginia Beach on 2 March and ride down the Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina coastlines to arrive in FL on the 4th for my first Daytona Bike Week. Yay!

Anyway, I hung out with my buddy Bob and met his buddy Chief Bob (former Coast Guard) for a few minutes, then went to a wonderful seafood dinner on Chesapeake Beach at Chick's Oyster Bar with two friends I knew in Germany, Nick and Ola. They have a gorgeous little girl now, and it was so fun seeing them again. Unfortunately, we forgot to take a picture. Next time.

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
