On the way, we stopped in New Castle, which I'm pretty sure is one of the oldest towns in America with over 500 historic buildings that date back to the 1700's. I even saw where William Penn first set foot on America.
We arrived in Chincoteague late, but I did my fair share of research and picked Maddox Family Campground for where we would spend the first night. The website said it was the closest campsite to the water and marshes, and I'll admit, I had high hopes that I would see some ponies grazing outside my tent when I woke up.
But no such luck! And the crazy campground charged us $40 a night for tent camping!! We didn't even get to use their community pool.
We went out to Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and caught a glimps of two wild ponies faaaar off in the distance. That was about it for our pony sightings. I got some pretty shots of the beach and the beautiful woodlands. More photos to come soon!

Hello from Joisey!!!!! the beach looks wonderful but i bet the water was cold.
ReplyDeleteIf you take a 4 hour trip to Jamestown, VA, you can see the foundation of a home where one of my family members lived in the 1600's. I still have cousins in Williamsburg and was lucky enough to see the Carl Vinson (modern aircraft carrier) in drydock. You can play 8 football games at the same time on the carriers flight deck! Wish i was there!
Even on the beach your handwriting is so neat... It's the beach, not a white board!
ReplyDeleteJohn - that's great! if Yovana was a superhero, she would be Sharpiegirl whose superpowers would be her ability to project any information anywhere, anytime, anyhow. this becomes VERY important when influencing people - she is almost never rejected.
