Few days away

8 days ago, we took a little two-night, 3 days get away to Chincoteague Island in Va. 

 So good it felt to get away.  I did take a walk in the sand which I felt for a few days afterward, but I know I used muscles in the TKR leg for the good.  Getting better and over several humps. 

So nice there on Assateague beach listening to the sound of the waves crashing to shore.

Several tunnels to get to Chincoteague Island and it costs 15 dollars each way which it's worth it not taking the DC route. Less traffic the way we went and much more pleasant a drive. 


We traveled the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel over and under water ways.
Beautiful views of Chesapeake Bay spanning a little over 17 miles.
One of the 7 engineering wonders of the modern world.  
Leads to a peninsula that intersects the land and takes us to Chincoteague

Miles more and finally Chincoteague
Passed Wallops Island too


We stayed at the Refuge Inn.  It has a pool and sauna.  Nice Inn.  Breakfast brought to the rooms.  Very clean and well appointed rooms and such nice caretakers.  We will be going back soon.


Nice balcony upstairs where we were.  



Steve had to get to the beach to dune sit. 
Gorgeous and clean Assateague beach.  
Well taken care of
Nice clean restrooms on the beach
There was a heavy storm here and the dunes were taken out some





Love the beautiful horses and ponies and Assateague Beach!


Bye for now
