Keeping it at bay.

No, I don't just spend my whole life lonesome.  Sometimes, I do fun stuff like spend a week in Chesapeake Bay crabbing, fishing, relaxing, beaching, and whatnot.
 Chicken necking for crab,

 No electronics,
 Just old fashioned fun.  

 The part behind the cabin that looks like it drops off into nothingness?
It drops into the Chesapeake Bay.  
 And the other side of the cabin was the Honga River. 
 Me and the travel agent that planned the whole vacation.  
 Dat's Nice.  Reminded me of all the Finnglish people I know. 

 This picture was taken from the bridge that carries you to Hooper Island. 
That is a bald eagle that has made it's nest on the chimney.  
What a gorgeous cabin this must have been in it's prime. 
 I think this was Ocean City.  We did Ocean City and Assateague Island in one day.  
Ocean City is gorgeous.  A swimmable oceanside beach.  Assateague Island is gorgeous, too.
Not exactly kid friendly.  Especially when the wild horses show up on the beach.  


 The kids enjoyed jumping off of the pontoon in the bay.  
Well, until Logan cut himself on the ladder and I freaked out about sharks smelling the blood.  
The kids didn't know about the sharks in the bay until then.  
I, of course, googled that long before. 
(No known shark attacks have occurred in The Bay.) 


 Our crabs we caught.  Two meals total.  You are welcome for the picture.  
But, isn't the blue pretty?  
And we even survived a storm with winds up to 78 miles an hour.  
This tree was massive.  It was completely uprooted- and level with this house.  
There was quite a bit of damage.  We were safe.  

It was a really fabulous week.  Just what the Dr. ordered.  We also did a charter fishing trip for Rockfish.  If and when we get the pictures off of Zane's phone, I'll post them.  For the benefit of my Dad, mostly.  And, the wild horses on the island.

I hope you are enjoying your summer as much as we are enjoying ours!
Nine more days until I see some awesome TEXANS! (Formerly New Mexicans) WOOT, WOOT!
I'm not excited or anything.  *big grin* Life is good.
