Chincoteague Beach

Chincoteague, Virginia

August 10-12, I had the opportunity to go to the beach with my father-in-law, Mark and my friend, Jamie. I had never been to Chincoteague, Virginia before and Jamie had never been to the beach before. We stayed in a nice little cabin that Levi and Janessa had stayed in for their honeymoon. The three of us spent most of the days we were there, on the beach. We had an ocean kayak with us and that was so much fun. I taught Jamie how to boogie board. I also learned how to surf, which was awesome! We started to dig a cave, but the sand wasn't solid enough, so our cave turned into a hot tub, fully epuipped with seats, back rests, arm rests, and a small water fall. The only problem was that when the water came in, the floor filled up with sand. The dolphin sighting was neat, course I wanted to swim with them. We witnessed a wedding on the beach that lasted about 5 minutes, if that; pretty sunsets, and the Assateague wild ponies. We got up at 5:30 to see the sunrise on the beach. To our disappointment, it was cloudy, but the time was still very peaceful in the early morning. Oh, and we chatted with some Amish girls who were from Lancaster County in Pennsylvania. They were taking pictures of themselves, and we asked if they would get a picture with us. This visit reconfirmed the fact that I love the beach.
