Diet And Travel

 I am linking up with Linses Cotton's  Scenic Weekend

 These are some of the pretty scenes from last weekend's visit to Chincoteague and the Assateague Island National Seashore. We only stayed on night and since this was somewhat of a last minute trip, I missed out on our usual Best Western hotel room. I prefer the Best Western it is located right outside the park. This time we chose the Fairfield Inn, a new hotel that opened off the the main street in Chincoteague Island.

 

Seen in the distance is the Assateague Lighthouse.

The beach at Assateague Island National Seashore.

The boardwalk trail at Tom's Cove.

A beautiful day barely a cloud in the sky. 

 

An early morning misty view of the lighthouse .

I hope you enjoyed my scenic weekend.  I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday weekend.

During this past weekend get away hubby and I visited Assateague Island National  Seashore. I am not sure there are many places where you can hang out on the beach and see wild ponies. They are free to roam all over the island of Assateague. These are some of the shots I took during our visit.



You are not allowed to feed the horses but they must be used to people stopping and feeding them from their cars. I had to hurry and put my car window up because this horse walked right up to my window and was just about to stick his head inside my car. He turned his head when he saw I had nothing for him.


I have posted before about the Chincoteague ponies and now these are the Assateague ponies. Chincoteague is in Virginia and Assateague Island is in Maryland. The islands are separately by a tiny bit of water that I think the horses can swim across.


Along with the wild ponies, there are deer and lots of great birds to see. Some people come to Assateague to camp either in tents or their RV's.


The water levels were the highest I have ever seen them, I think it was due to the storm in the Atlantic and the high tide.



























It was a little windy but we were able to take a short walk on the beach at Assateague. It was a fun weekend at the beach. Lots of beautiful scenery, lovely skies and lots of great birds and critters. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed my post.

This post is from our trip in October, we drove down the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Smoky Mountains. The Parkway follows the Appalachian Mountains and boast some of the most scenic scenery in the world. I guess this is a matter of opinion, I can say it is a very pretty area. We made a quick stop at this scenic lake named Otter Lake.


I think it is a pretty lake and the reflections were beautiful. And of course I have a thing for trees.







Otter Lake and the dam are located at milepost 61 and not far from the James River Visitor center. There is a loop trail going around the lake or you can continue on the Otter Creek trail to the campground and visitor center.
