We are planning a holiday trip to Ocean City this weekend from Lex Park area. Does anyone know if there is a short cut to the eastern shore? You dont really have to drive the whole way around the bay do you? What about the Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel? Or maybe a ferry that will take you over? Let me know if anyone has any ideas or kowledge on this...thanks!
Does a short-cut exist?

Drive to Annapolis and take the bridge over on RT 50. Long drive. At least the bridge toll is lower than it used to be.
It is the same to go to Norfolk. 100 miles as the crow flies, 200 miles to drive.

That's what I said...
I was talking drive-time. I wasn't even considering the ferry ride.
Like I said: I never did the math. Its just something I've heard again and again, and never saw come to fruition. It would be pretty cool to cut the trip down to an hour/hour and a half.
Maybe on a warm day, someone will hang-glide from Calvert Cliffs over to OC, and really make a new shortcut.

How long have you been in SOMD and has the baby arrived yet?
2003-1982 = 21 years.
Holy crap. I never thought of that before.
God, I'm getting old.
We moved down here from Charm City when I was a teenager. My dad worked for BG&E and they transferred him down here to CCNPP. He commuted for a couple years, then got totally sick of that - and we all moved.
Nope no baby yet. She keeps having Benson & Hedges contractions, so we've thought she was in labor a couple of times - and once she even went to the hospital. They told her to go home, and that Briggs & Straton contractions were totally normal - and come back when she's having them 10-8 minutes apart for over an hour.
We're still expecting it this week, so I'm anxiously pacing the proverbial floor. But nothing yet.

Around about 8ish months ago when we first found out her due date with July 14th, I mentioned that my daughter was a few weeks early. And I said something along the lines of "It would be pretty cool if this one is born on the 4th of July, wouldn't it?"
We may yet find out if that's cool!
I know my wife will certainly think it's cool. She's so tired of being pregnant, and having sore hips and back, she doesn't know what to do with herself.

What do you mean what's up with that scary looking bridge tunnel that goes underwater? duh!
That Ches. Bay bridge tunnel is nothing to fret over. 17 miles long. Not all of it underwater the whole way.

I heard they built a bridge a few years back, but only VIP Tiki Bar members had access to cross it.

Shhhhh Sxy, don't go giving away our secrets!
Good point. I've done it myself and from the time I took off from the airport to the time I was strolling on the beach in Ocean City was only an hour!
Someone should seriously consider setting up a charter service. It would also be nice if they could offer puddle jumpers to Dulles, National, and BWI.
