This month we're off to Chincoteague and Assateague Islands in Virginia. These islands were made famous by the Misty of Chincoteague books. Assateague Island is a national wildlife refuge, and home to several herds of wild ponies. In addition to some fabulous kayaking, there are also hiking and biking trails on Assateague as well as miles of gorgeous beaches and the lighthouse on the island. Chincoteague hosts a quaint seaside town with lots of shops and seafood restaurants.

We'll be staying at Pine Grove Campground on Chincoteague Island. Plan to arrive on Friday, May 21 and depart on Sunday May 23. Friday we will set up camp - the campsite also has cabins and trailers for rent if you don't have a tent. Saturday we'll set out to paddle around Assateague and look for ponies. In the evening, join us for the pot luck dinner!

Sunday morning we can fit in another paddle before packing up and heading home.

This campground is supposedly pet friendly, but I recommend checking with them when you reserve your site to be sure.
