Delaware is on the map!

Woo hoo! Delaware is on the map! We have been talking about getting to this little state for a few years now, and we have finally made it!

We have several days planned in Delaware and hope to find out more about the “First State”. Our first day was spent checking out the historic town of Lewes (the first town, in the first state) and visiting Cape Henlopen State Park!

We are camped in Delaware Beach State Park (North), just a stones throw from the Indian River Inlet and Bridge.

Chincoteaque Island

Our afternoon in Chincoteague Island, VA.

The day before it was 91 in Williamsburg. The high in Chincoteague on this afternoon was 62.

Just 150 miles apart and one day’s difference.

We may not have packed enough heavy clothes. 😳

We did get to see some of the wild ponies that roam all of Assateague Island.

But, I’m telling you, it was unexpectedly chilly. 😁 We made the best of it when exploring the park and bundled up for a stroll down the beach. The scenery is absolutely lovely and for horse lovers like us, it’s pretty incredible to see these beautiful horses all over. The Assateague Lighthouse was also an incredible sight. Whenever we have a chance to visit a lighthouse, we try to see them and this one was quite a beauty. It was even more lovely at night as we could see the light spinning in the sky from our campsite just across the way.

We headed in town for dinner at the Ropewalk and then made an unscheduled stop at Mr. Whippy’s because Jeff saw donut drive thru and we just couldn‘t help ourselves. A dozen donuts later, we headed back to the beach along with some hot tea and hot coffee to picnic with our donut desserts. Don’t worry, we didn’t eat them all in one sitting! Mr. Whippy’s sure does know how to make a tasty donut, that is for sure!

On the Road Again!

And, we’re back on the road again! West Virginia is now on the map! Now to read up on our next conquest. 😁 Williamsburg, we have you in our sights!

After a pretty crazy spring with tea room events and some music gigs, it’s time for a little spring vacation. We are on our first vacation camping trip of the season and on our way to Delaware to explore. Neither of us has ever really explored Delaware and we are excited together visit with some stops along the way visiting old favorites from previous trips through West Virginia and Virginia.

We stayed in Huntington, WV the first night out and on Friday we explored Staunton, VA...birthplace of President Woodrow Wilson and home of The Statler Brothers. This was a great stopover on our way to Williamsburg.

My parents took me to Williamsburg multiple times as a kid and I’ve always loved visiting. Jeff had been previously for a conference but we had never explored Williamsburg together so this was quite a treat. We also took one of the ghost tours! On Sunday we explored Jamestown and Yorktown. We absolutely loved the ships and wandering about the settlement at Jamestown and were treated to a Revolutionary War artillery demonstration at Yorktown.

Next we are on to Chincoteague Island to see the beautiful wild horses.
