Chincoteague Island

A much needed 3 day weekend. We finally got away and went to Chincoteague Island. It has been a really long time since the 2 of us have gotten away without the kids. Chincoteague was awesome.

When we finally arrived on Friday -- We spent much of the day walking around the island -- plenty of shops and things to check out and surprising a lot of good restaurants to choose from.

Saturday -- We spent much of the day kayaking in the Assateague Bay - great views all day - and a great workout -- with that current. We really wanted to rent some bikes - but by the time we finished kayaking and going to the beach on Assateague the shops were closing up their rentals -- maybe next time.

Sunday -- We got up and did some running on the island. I ran a whole 3 miles. Melinda strolled on and ran 6. We probably should have stayed most of the day - but I was anxious to get back across the Chesapeake bay Bridge Tunnel -- thought that the tropical storm even though it was far away - might bring some strong winds - which would not have been good for carrying 2 kayaks on top of the car.

--- We did see some wild horses but they were really far way. - maybe next time. Also, found it interesting that no one locks anything up. I was really nervous about leaving 2 new kayaks on top of my car overnight - but their were plenty of other people who did not lock theirs or their bikes for that matter. Their were bikes everywhere and no one locks. -- pretty unheard of especially if you have ever had your bike stolen in Richmond.
