After several days of rain showers, the temperatures dropped into the upper 70s (a welcome relief after a long stretch of heat and humidity!), and we had a beautiful second week. We were able to turn off the A/C and open the windows!
There were only a few campers in the tent loops, so it was a pretty quiet week for us. Tom and his Dad were able to take a few drives in the afternoons, and we all went into Cape Charles to check out the Farmer’s Market on Tuesday evening.
We weren’t too impressed with the Farmers Market – just a few organic farmers with expensive vegetables. It’s early in the season, though, so hopefully it’ll get better later in the summer.
We strolled through a few shops – where we saw these cool hermit crabs with painted shells!
. . . and took a walk down to the beach and fishing pier.
The town pier, like the state park pier, is a free fishing pier. You don’t need a fishing license to fish from either pier. You just need a one-time fishing permit, which are available online or at a self service kiosk at the pier.
There weren’t many people fishing at the pier, just a couple osprey flying around.
Nice view of the Bay!
Back at the state park, we had a group of cute vintage VW campers come in for one night . . .
and we have had some spectacular sunsets every night this week!
It’s become our daily practice to either ride the bikes or the golf cart down to the beach and fishing pier in the evening to enjoy the sunset! We haven’t been disappointed at all this week!
Beautiful!
Tom likes to check out what the fishermen are catching, and hopes that somebody will share some of their take with him!
This guy had this cobia, and several flounder . . . he wasn’t sharing, though!
Another amazing sight!
