Driving and caching

We drove a lot today. It wasn't too far, maybe 250 miles, but it seemed like a lot of driving because we didn't take the freeway. We popped over to New Jersey to pick up just one cache in that state, then popped back over to Delaware. That cache cost us $3. It's free to cross the bridge to get in, but they make you pay if you want to leave.

We drove down the coastline of Delaware. It's a really skinny state. We saw some signs that said if the sirens were wailing, then you should turn on your radio. Huh? Then we came over a bridge and saw the reason why. There was a cache coming up, so we stopped to find it and let the kids play on the beach for a while. As soon as we pulled up, the sirens started wailing. At 11:30 am. Freaked us out, especially because we couldn't remember what station we were supposed to tune to. But they stopped before the required 3-5 minutes, so we just went on and found the cache, played on the beach, and enjoyed the sun. Have you figured out what the reason was yet? Here's the picture.



There are lots of other pictures in my camera, but they were all taken in the back seat by kids. Nuff said.

So we ended up in Chincoteague. Turns out pony penning day was Wednesday. They swam back today. I can't believe we missed it! I think the Beebe ranch is closed tomorrow, so we might not get to see Misty. But we will get to drive around the island and see the sights and play on the beach, which is really all it's about anyway.

Here's a picture not taken by a kid. It's the view out our hotel window, to the west, where a thunderstorm is coming over. It was a good storm.
