Our family's first trip to Assateague State Park took place on August 19. We pitched our tent at our campsite G2. At first, the wild horses were grazing there along with a buck, but they went away eventually. The kids went to the beach while we set up the tent. Then we tried to heat up noodles, but the propane stove would not light. So, with so many mosquito bites, we went into the tent and talked. During the night, drops of dew or sea water splashed very infrequently on our faces.
At 5:30am, I awoke and walked to the beach. The scene looked so surreal, like the underground Journey to the Center of the earth, with an orange sun that one could view shining through cloudy skies onto a slightly darkened beach. Later I came back with Megan and then Melinda. We saw dolphins in the distance. We cleaned camp before the 11am deadline. Before going home, the kids rode on their traditional Go Karts and went to the arcade. Then we walked around the Boardwalk and headed home. Thus ended our first camping trip on the Eastern Shore.
