There was one last place on our DC to do list. It was Chincoteague! Addison has been a horse lover since we have arrived in VA. Well, even before that! So, we couldn't leave the area without seeing the wild ponies! We arrived at the State park and took a little hike. We didn't see any ponies. I was getting a little worried. But, on our way to the beach we saw some. They were a good distance out but we saw them.
We went to the beach, flew our kites and then a crazy rain storm came in. After it passed we hiked another trail and saw some deer and other wildlife. It was pretty neat. Then we found a trail that got us a bit closer to the horses. It was really pretty neat. The next day we went to pet some horses and went to the little museum that housed Misty of Chincoteague. The horse was actually stuffed. We all had a good time. It was nice to get away and not think about moving!

We never can leave without treasures!
Playing at the beach! It was nice to smell and taste salt water again!
There was a petting area so the kids could actually pet and feed some horses.
The REAL Misty of Chincoteague! The one from the book!
It was a little rainy but not too bad! It was a lot less crowded!
Horses! Yay! We saw them!
