Clouds in the Sand

Upside Down Horseshoe Crab

This horseshoe crab washed up on the beach. Though they look like
crabs, they are actually descendents of spiders. That is according to
Wiki.

Rightside Up Horseshoe Crab

I flipped it over and it swam away. They are supposed to be able to
flip themselves over using their tail, but I thought I would ignore
the Prime Directive and help out.

Fenwick Island Beach

We drove south and are at a state park at Fenwick Island, DE. The
beach isn't as crowded and is wider. That is Shane's knee in the
corner of the shot.

The Beach at Bethany Beach

I haven't been to Bethany Beach in a long time and it looks way
different. You can't see the shore from the boardwalk. They built
the dune way high, I suppose to prevent erosion. The beach is very
crowded and much more narrow.

Bethany Beach Sights


We made it to beach. We stopped to buy two umbrellas and beach chairs, had a quick slice of greasy pizza and are now sitting on the beach. Awesome sights!

Crossing the Bay Bridge

This is the bridge that crosses rhe Chesapeake Bay. You can't tell by
this shot, but it has been very trafficy. They closed the road just
ahead of us to allow a huge herd of motorcycles merge on the highway.

Last Minute Beach Day

Since it is such a beautiful day, we decided on a whim to have a beach
day. We are on our way to Delaware, and we should be there by 12:30
( depending on the traffic). It usually takes about 3 hours.
