Catherine has wanted to see the ponies at Assateague/Chincoteague for some time now, and this weekend the timing was right. We made the 3-hour drive to Chincoteague, and got to enjoy the park with plenty of sunshine and some good warmth for the day.
Assateague has a herd of wild ponies that gets rounded up once a year, with the ponies sold off. We did get to see some, but it was from quite a distance.
We also got to see the lighthouse, and Catherine got to dip her toes into the ocean.
Our hotel was right on the water, facing north and west. I went out to pick up dinner, and when I came back, this was the view I saw from our balcony. Gorgeous warm light on the bridge connecting us to the mainland. There were several paddle boarders out enjoying what could be the last warm day of the year.
I think Catherine enjoyed checking off this bucket list item. Cheers!
Marc
