Assateague Island, MD

We saw several wild ponies on Assateague Island. This is the most beautiful beach ever. It goes on for 26 miles with no built structures. Vehicles are only allowed to a certain point and then you can bike or walk on all the trails throughout the rest of the Island.
Alexis and Chad making a school of fish out of sand. You can see Leah, soaking up the sun and Kimberly under the umbrella, a little sun-burned from the day before at the beach. It was quite windy and the umbrella flew up and was headed down the beach. Kimberly started chasing after the umbrella, luckily some kids caught it for her, otherwise who knows when she would have returned.
I can't see you. Actually, I can't see anything.

Hanging out at the beach.
After playing at the beach all day, Southern barbecue and then yummy ice cream.

The best fireworks ever!!!


This firework show lasts about 20 minutes, truly spectacular!!!

4th of July, Washington DC cont.

Trying to find the best spot to watch the fireworks on the National Mall. Alexis enjoyed her piggy-back ride from Chad.
We found a great spot.

Just having some fun.
Waiting for the fireworks to start.

They were spectacular. I love celebrating the 4th in DC. They have the best firework show ever!!!

The day started out with a yummy breakfast, blueberry pancakes, bacon, eggs, compliments of Kimberly. Then, of course, we had to have gelato in Georgetown. This place has yummy gelato.
