The Ferry Ride, Delaware and Virginia!


Two campgrounds in a row without internet access. We knew the last place didn’t have internet but the AAA book said this one did- oh well.

Monday morning we took the Cape May- Lewes Ferry, It was pretty strange driving on board in the camper (we were the largest vehicle for that trip) We saw three harbor light houses on the ‘cruise’.


From there we went to the Delaware Seashore State Park. From our campsite we could see the Rehoboth Beach Bay in front of us and to the side. The park is right next to the Inlet from the ocean to the bay and most people come there (this time of year) to fish. It was fun to watch the boats try to fish and fight the tide and the wind. It was very windy the two nights we were there. The nights were clear and cold, but the sky was beautiful- lots of stars and we had gorgeous sunsets out the ‘dining room’ window.

While there, we drove down to Fenwick Island. We found the lighthouse – it wasn’t open- but there’s a marker on the sidewalk in front of the lighthouse marking the border between Delaware and Maryland. In Maryland it became Ocean City. (So we went to Ocean City, NJ and Ocean City, Md. We also spent some time wandering around Rehoboth Beach. We walked on the beach and the boardwalk and went to lunch at the Dogfish Head Brewery and Eatery.











Today, Wednesday, we drove south to Chincoteague, Va. What a difference traveling off season! We are camped right next to the bay and can see the Assateague Lighthouse from our camper! And, drum roll please….. with binoculars I can see wild horses in front of (bay side) the lighthouse!!!!! I spent the afternoon doing laundry while Bob finished setting up. I did find out where there is free internet so tomorrow we’ll go have ice cream and I’ll post this.
Today is really cold so we're having coffee and I'm having a milky way latte while we update this.
Maybe tomorrow or the next day we'll have ice crem while we do our updates.
