Two week ago, we camped with some old and new friends at Assateague Island National Seashore. We previously visited Assateague several years ago, when the girls were toddlers (before T was born) and camped in the walk in sites, which proved tricky with little children (so. much. stuff.). So this year we reserved back-in spots at the National Park campground (click here for info, and note that the spots fill up FAST, so try and reserve a few months in advance).
I thought the water would be too cold for swimming, but assumed the kids would still enjoy open uncrowded beaches. Obviously I completely underestimated my children's need to immerse themselves in freezing ocean water. Oh well, so so much fun was had by all. Seriously, a wonderful place. Unfortunately, we didn't see any wild horses meandering through the campground, but the horse poop everywhere proved they visit frequently.
If you're interested in visiting, Assateague is about 3 hour drive from DC (it is located next to Ocean City, MD). Click here for more info.
The night slowly became colder.
And colder . . .
And freezing.
Oh that morning light (which I rarely see because I'm a sleep-innner). T's friend spent all morning circling the tent and waiting for T to finally wake up. He even made sure everyone saved T a donut.
Unfortunately when T woke up, he acted like this.
By 9 am everyone warmed up and the kids jumped back in the ocean.
And finally, on the drive out of the park, we saw some wild horses off the road. Wonderfulness.
