Riding a Surrey, Erie, PA

After spending the 4th in DC we went to Erie, PA to visit some of our friends. It was Alexis' friend Maggie's 13th birthday. We made her a couple of cakes and bought some balloons. She had a wonderful birthday.
This was the best bike ride Alexis has ever been on. No peddling, she just drove the bike. Presque Island was beautiful. There are so many trees in PA. It's a beautiful state.

We never saw any turtles.

Crab anyone?




We picked up some cooked crab at a great little seafood place at Chincoteague Island. So, so, yummy. This is definitely the best and funnest way to eat crab. Kimberly also made a homemade fresh peach pie, DELICIOUS.
This was our last night with Leah and Chad, they were flying back the next day, so we decided to go on a midnight tour of the monuments in DC. Well, after about 20 minutes I look back and Chad and Leach are completely out. So our previous thoughts of pulling an all-nighter didn't quite happen.
The next day Leah made sirloin kababs with rosemary and the best shiitake mushroom I've ever had. DELICIOUS.
Before taking Chad and Leah to the airport we stopped at a great little cupcake place in Georgetown. What a great end to an amazing fun-filled week.

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.

Chincoteague Island, VA

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!!!
