I am at Chincoteague, Virginia and using my once daily internet time to check in. We will be going over to Assateague Island around 4:00 pm (Eastern) and will not be back until after 8:00 for a late dinner. My Happy Hour will be water on the beach :-)
We got here on Friday and will not leave until Saturday. Chincoteague is a small town and family friendly. We have been coming here for years. There have been some changes to the town--a new causeway to get people to the beach faster being the largest of those changes.
Chincoteague find itself as a town torn between wanting to be super beach town--like an Ocean City, MD or remaining a sleepy beach town. I am hoping it goes the way it has always been, a sleepy beach town. It is nice to be able to walk to the only movie theater on the island, the ice cream parlor, the little shops, and restaurants. It is nice not to be overwhelmed with neon.
This is an open thread. How about you? Are you a quiet sort of vacation person, or do you want to go where all the action is? If I have time to check in later tonight, I will. We have to go to the main office of the hotel to get internet, as we are renting a cottage. If I don't see you all tonight, though, I will check in tomorrow morning!
