Yaaay!

I just made us reservations to go to Chincoteague Island for a weekend in May.

Chincoteague is on the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay, south of Ocean City Maryland. It's just across a short bridge from Assateague Island, a protected wildland with herds of wild ponies and beautiful Atlantic beaches.

Alex has never seen the ocean.

Because it's the off season, we were able to rent a 2-bedroom townhouse for $85/night. The townhouse complex has an indoor heated pool and hot tub. That'll be nice if we run into bad weather.

It will surely be too cold to swim in the ocean, but honestly since I'm the only one in the family who is a good swimmer that's probably just as well. I think we'll have a great time wandering on the beach, looking for seashells, and watching wildlife.

Yay.

I was about 13 when we camped there, and boy were there mosquitoes! They don't bite me, but they got the rest of the family. The townhouse will be a lot better. Have fun!

The mosquitoes are a big part of why we're going in May. I understand that they're not so bad early and late in the season, but in high summer they're just awful.
