This memorial day weekend I went camping at Assategue Island with Ryan, Susan, and Ms. Yvonne. The weather was perfect over the weekend save for a few spots of rain on Sunday. It felt really good to be at the beach because it’s been so long. I prefer the east coast beaches to the west coast ones simply because the water is warmer, the beaches are sandier, and I have fonder memories of the Outer Banks from when I was a child.

Yvonne and I left for the beach Saturday morning and ended up arriving around 11am. The drive was pretty uneventful. I assumed there would be a lot of traffic with all the vacationers heading to Ocean City for the memorial day weekend. We left early enough that it wasn’t an issue. It could also be that during this recession people haven’t felt the need to leave town for vacation.

The pony that ate my bag of Kettle Chips

Assateague Island is known for its feral Chiconteague ponies. In fact, one of them was kind enough to eat my bag of Kettle Chips (Salt and Pepper). I caught a photo of one with my iPhone. I have a couple others which I will post once I get the time to upload them. There’s a great picture of Ryan and I standing next to the pony giving the camera a pair of thumbs up. Ryan if you read this, send me that photo.

Saturday consisted of burgers and dogs for lunch and for dinner we grilled up salmon, asparagus and potatoes. It was absolutely delicious. On Sunday we ate scrambled eggs, bacon and hasbrowns for breakfast. Lunch consisted of vegetables, fruit, turkey bacon avocado sandwiches and some chips. For dinner we had crab cakes stir fry and grilled shrimp. The food was glorious. I’ve never eaten so well on a camping trip.

There’s nothing better than sitting on a beach with a choice beverage, enjoying the sun with your good friends. All in all it was a great weekend.
