Back from the Beach



When we sat down at the end of the school year to see when we could fit a vacation in this year we started marking off days the kids were here or there. A week at this camp, a week at school, a week at that camp followed by 4 days at that camp. Well this past Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday didn't have anything marked on them. So a couple calls and we had reservation at our old reliable vacation destination... Chincoteague Island, Virginia. The great thing is the laid back atmosphere. It's not a neon nightmare filled with stupid high school kids. But four days just wasn't enough, though. Two more days, I think, I may have checked everything off the list. Crabbing? Not enough but, check. Crab cakes? Check. Boogie boarding? Check. Shell hunting at sunrise? Check. A little more exploring off the island? Negative. Birding? Check. I did my part, it was the birds that failed to show. Relax? Nope. That's not why I go on vacation. Oh yeah, Theme Week: Beach.
