We just got back from camping at Assateague Island, and have voted it "Possibly the Very Best Camping Spot Ever." And we happened to be there at the best time of year and with the best temperature. Here are some reasons:
1. No bugs
2. Wild horses
3. We were never too hot
4. We never got cold
5. Nice neighbors
6. Clean
7. Soft, sandy camp ground
8. A skipping stone's throw from the ocean
9. Playground close by (not that we needed it with all that sand)
10. Cheap
11. Not over crowded
12. On an island
13. Secluded
14. Nothing between you and Portugal
15. Wild dolphins
Now some pictures:

| Editor's Note: I, Andrew, now post my first recipe of the week. Since Ariel did not try the smiley potatoes, she unfortunately cannot comment on the quality of the cuisine. And I would not be so presumptuous to give my own recipe the glowing review it deserves. The recipe follows: buy a big ol' bag of Smiley Potatoes; pour 'em into a pot or pan over a fire or something burning hot; keep the lid on for softer potatoes; if they start getting black, most of them are probably done. Enjoy! |
Don't worry; we had oatmeal too.

| Beach bum. |
 |
| Andrew has a goal to do a backflip at every beach we go to. This one failed and we're all glad he's not paralyzed. |
After a great camping trip and day at the beach, we stopped at a pumpkin patch on the return drive. As a bonus, it had a free fun land!
 |
| Andrew can't wait for the future, when we all ride around on these. |
We will definitely be going back. At least yearly, if not more often. If anyone has a free weekend, give us a little warning and we'll gladly accompany you.
Our wild horse adventure video is coming soon. Stay tuned!

I'll accompany you! I've always wanted to see the famed wild horses!!
I want to send that picture of Abe and Ben to my friends that think they don't want to have any kids. Mind-changer.
Wow those are adorable kiddos and that really does look like the best camping site ever! I think the smily potatoes look awesome. Ive never seen those! Abe's hair is getting so curly! Its darling! We miss you guys bunches! Im sorry I never called that day! We would still love to video chat! I'll call tomorrow :)
#14 "Nothing between you and Portugal" except a few thousand miles of Atlantic Ocean and ...
(#15) all the wild things therein. Probably should have put the smiley potatoes on the ground and the bread in the car.
