Assateague Island, Day 3

I got up early this morning to watch the sunrise:

As we left, we spotted some horses on the marsh/bay side of the island:

On the way back home, we went through Dover AFB, and they have a great museum right off the freeway!  The tarmac houses a variety of vintage transport aircraft:

I love this shot:

Mechel stands next to the largest of a series of rectangles that originate at the blue sign in the background.  This largest rectangle, which extends from where Mechel is standing to the blue sign, represents the floor space of a C-5 Galaxy.

Mechel shows off a patch he bought in the gift shop.  Baila is wearing her Assateague Island Junior Ranger badge.  Mechel and Baila both completed the program.  Baila’s program receives a pin-on badge, while Mechel’s program for older children receives a patch.

What a trip!  We hope to take the RV out for another adventure soon!
