More Virginia

While in Virginia we visited both Chincoteague and Assateague Islands.

Getting ready to walk to the Assateague Lighthouse.

It's being sandblasted and getting a new paint job soon so we weren't able to go inside.

Then it was time to head to the beach!

She wasn't too sure about the horseshoe crab.

 It was a nice sunny day, but still cool for swimming and according to Kylie the water was ice cold.  There were plenty of people on the beach sunbathing, but very few actually getting in the water.

We stopped by to see some ponies

She's holding her own stuffed Assateague pony, she named him Pony Pony.  The next morning she told me his name was Unicorn, but I finally convinced her to go back to calling him Pony Pony :)

She loved dancing in front of the windows and watching her reflection.

Ready for another boat ride.

And once again...she is sound asleep!

Oops, this one is out of order and it won't let me move it.

Well look who finally woke-up!

Kylie's turn to drive!

She loved playing in the rocks.

Checking the crab traps

Yum, doesn't get much fresher than this!

Entertaining herself on a long car ride back to Philly

We had a great trip, but were all ready to get home after being gone for so long.  Kylie was so excited to see Kit-Kat and had already planned out exactly what she was going to tell Kit-Kat when we got home.  Unfortunately the plane ride home wasn't too great, there was quite a bit of turbulence and Kylie ended up getting sick :(  The plane ride couldn't end fast enough for me, I was ready to get home after dealing with that on the plane!

Fun on the Beach

No trip to Galveston is complete without walking on the beach, luckily the next day it wasn't raining.  Kylie loved walking on the beach, looking for seashells, and chasing birds.

Pleasure Pier

Seashell!

Look, look, look!

She had so much fun~they would wait until a wave was coming and then run backwards hollering "Oh no, Oh no, Oh no".  A week later and if we mention going to the beach she runs backwards and yells "Oh no" with a huge smile on her face.  Luckily neither one of them got their feet wet because as mentioned in a previous post, all our stuff was stuck in the bed of the truck!

Walking along the beach.

Mommy and Kylie

The clouds were really pretty that morning.

Making footprints in the sand

Waiting for the water to splash

We even had lunch right on the water, it's not very often that we get to eat outside, usually too hot and humid!  Kylie loved watching the boats as we ate and there was a cruise ship right by us also.

All in all, it was a great little getaway, even though it seemed everything was going wrong!  Once we were home, I was able to break into the truck bed cover and get our things out and we took the truck to get fixed the next day.
