Chincoteague weekend

Here's the RV which we rented for the long weekend, and floor plan below. I liked it a lot - fortunately (or unfortunately) we can now rent them less than a mile from home and for cheaper than we could ever buy one for ourselves, so we probably will be using this one for many future road trips.

It took us down to Chincoteague Island to the ponies and salt marshes. A lovely area, even though the weather was too chilly and windy to stay outdoors too long!

The campground playground, with its old dangerous merry-go-round, was a big hit.


I was able to get in one 5K run, though my allergies have been making me cough hard for four days to the point that my chest hurt while I was running. That makes running not so fun and so I kept it short.

We had one trip to the beach but it was blowing HARD and very cold, so we didn't stay long. Catherine just RAN back to the RV.

Elisabeth liked it better and cried when we left, though I'm not sure whether that was regret that we were leaving or being chilled to the bone.

The Easter bunny was able to find us and leave some nice eggs and chocolate bunnies for the last time that they will be 4 years old. So that was breakfast today.

Still on the road

Yesterday at Jekyll Island, Georgia. Last night in North Carolina, back to Virginia or Maryland tonight.

Easter weekend in Ocean City

It was a great view from our hotel room down onto the boardwalk - but deserted because it's about 30 degrees outside.

The girls enjoyed exploring the hotel amenities, including trying to crack the room safe.

They also enjoyed several restaurant meals, and even behaved, mostly.

When they didn't have too many sips of Dad's beer, that is.

The Easter bunny even came to our hotel room!

Yum, yum! The ears are the tastiest part.

We tried flying our Dora the Explorer kite, but the wind was too gusty and uncertain for much in the way of consistent results.

Yes, it was cold all weekend! Grandpa came along and here we all are on the boardwalk with the girls, taking a chilly stroll.

The biggest surprise of the weekend (outside of an April snowstorm) was a very tame fox that lives next to the Ocean City boardwalk and seems not the least disturbed by pedestrians who stop to take his photo!
