Assateague
20. August 2008 by admin.
Hi Friends.
Today we visited Assateague Island www.assateagueisland.com. The main attraction on this island is the wild horses. The horses are everywhere including the camping areas, beaches, streets and parking lots. It is hard to miss them. The trip from RB was around 40 minutes. Assateague is a short drive from Ocean City, Maryland and worth the trip from RB.
We spent most of the day swimming. The beaches are nice, but the bugs are terrible. Take Off Bug Spray! We learned this lesson several years ago. Since it was getting close to dinner time, we decided to head back to RB. We were invited to dinner at the Frogg’s Pond at 7pm with Matt and Jerry www.lighthouseinn.net. Unfortunately, we would not make this time, so we decided to stop at Hopper’s Restaurant near the intake at Ocean City. What a treat for seafood lovers! All-you-can-eat crab was popular at this restaurant and Ed and Altin took advantage of the offering. Today, they lost money!
It was now almost 9pm. The sparkling lights from Ocean City’s boardwalk caught our attention as did the amusement park rides . We found parking and entered the boardwalk. When the words “American Boardwalk” were invented, this was what they had in mind. Ocean City is commercialism at it’s best and the huge boardwalk is any child’s dream. As we walked, it was obvious that OC is an East Coast destination with more Steelers jerseys and a surprising amount of Pirate hats than I have ever seen outside of the ‘burgh. I couldn’t estimate the amount of people walking on the boardwalk, but would guess several thousand. The only things there that out numbered the people were the endless t-shirt, tattoo and ice cream shops…LOL. If you are into them, tourist trap heaven awaits you.
Time to head back to our home for the week. RB was only 20 miles away. As we headed back, I remember the sign at the entrance of RB. Slow down and enjoy the beach. This advice I took as I passed several speed traps and police cars.
Our adventures continue tomorrow.
Tony
