The Beauty Around Us

Today, April 7th, is the 7th day of our Easter vacation.

We have awakened each morning of our vacation in time to watch the sun rise. Each sunrise that we have witnessed has been beautiful. This morning’s sunset, though, was more than beautiful; it was splendid.

We visited downtown Chincoteague this morning. We went window shopping along Main Street.  The shops that interested me were closed until later in the day.

We walked back to our car the scenic way.

During our walk, we decided to drive to Cape Charles, VA–a place we had never been. Cape Charles is located about 66 miles south of Chincoteague. 

A popular mode of transportation at Cape Charles appears to be golf carts.

We went for a walk alongside the beach and on the fishing pier. 

Leaving Cape Charles, we drove to Metopkin Seafood for lunch. Metopkin Seafood is located in Mappsville, VA about 50 miles north of Cape Charles. We were disappointed to find that Metopkin Seafood was still closed for the season.  Metopkin Seafood is a favorite place for us to get a seafood platter.

We decided to eat lunch at Maria’s in Chincoteague, VA– our first time to eat there.  Bob ordered a crab cake sandwich with French fries.  I ordered a small pizza. 

I have leftover pizza for another meal. The food and service were good.  We returned to our rental AirBnb, Tranquil Shores, after lunch.

I have more to tell you about our 7th day of vacation, which I will share with you in a future blog post.
