Chincoteague

So our annual beach trip has turned out to be Chincoteague, Va. We just like it best. Small town, 

no boardwalk, but lots of character and good times.

This year we flaked on camping again - little kiddos, sand all over the tent floor, cooking - Nah.

We booked the cheapest hotel we could find which was sort of like luxury camping - bed to sleep 

on, shower, musty smell. Location was great - we are totally going there again.

In the evening we got the kids McDonalds to eat at the outside picnic tables at the hotel and then 

walked across the street to get seafood from Captain Zacks. Yum!

We took the big surrey bike around town a bit and then traded it in for bikes that actually could go 

faster. We had big dreams of all the fun biking we could do, but alas our kids are not big bikers and 

the mosquitos were horrendous. Mom and Dad were very irritated at  the very wussy kids, but after 

Gabes declaring that he wished we would've never come here ( slightly dramatic kid), we decided 

that we might as well just hit the beach again. Goodbye to the dreams of backpacking and biking 

trips as a family. Totally not their thing.

Ending the day with fabulous icecream from The Island Creamery and hitting the road for home.

Our beach trip is usually short but very sweet.
