Visiting Assateague Island (Wild Horses, Nature Hikes, Sunset Views)

Assateague Island National Seashore is located across state lines in both Virginia and Maryland. The two districts don’t connect, so you can either enter the northern portion from near Ocean City, Maryland or you can enter the southern portion from Chincoteague.

Another week. This one included a day in Illinois, a date night walk and board game, a library trip, camping at PSU and the white out, antiquing, a coffee, homemade meals, workouts, reading, and quality time together. Average weeks are special. 🩷 Another typical week over here. Full of puppy snuggles, lots of library book reading, blog writing, PSU footbal, a visit to a National Park, sunset at the beach, morning pages and sun roses, and a camp breakfast. This past week looked like working on new blogs, back to back camping trips, antique stores hunting, lot of reading, some treadmill walks, girls night with charcuterie, a hospital visit and a library visit, and toilet paper eating puppies. This is a typical week. Highs and lows and in betweens. Another typical week around here - library books, crockpot meals, puppy love, writing, new recipes, and a camping trip and PSU game. 🐾📚📝
