Trying Something New

One of the big reasons for spending so much in diesel this summer for this crazy long summer adventurcation is to let our girls experience as many new, memorable experiences as possible. Niagara Falls. Hershey Park. Gettysburg. (so far)

Today we arrived in Chincoteague, VA. We expected the drive from Gettysburg to be brutal, since we were traveling through Baltimore, but it turned out to be pretty tame.

We checked into our campsite, which turned out to be a pretty nice one:




We then headed for a local seafood restaurant, Don's Seafood. Here's where the "experience" comes in. All three girls selected cab legs for dinner. Fortunately they had a kids portion (saved $). Now, I don't think any of them had had crab legs before, so this was new.

I was expecting at least one of them to say "yuck" once dinner was delivered, but I was pleasantly surprised. They liked them, and each cleaned their plate.

Now, we could have gotten crab legs at a Red Lobster anywhere, but they got to try them in a different town at a local restaurant. A neat experience (and they were pretty well behaved!).

We finished the day with another experience... We went out and scoped out the beach for tomorrow. Harper experienced the joy of sand in your shorts where it doesn't belong... Couldn't have happened to a better kid... :)
