I'm sorry if I left you hanging about Part 2 of our Maryland trip, I almost forgot!
If you don't know what I'm talking about or need to catch up, you can read Part 1, here.
We woke up to bright clear skies in Ocean City. Coffee on the balcony is always a nice treat when you've got this view.
After a quick breakfast at the empty hotel dining room, we took one more walk down to the boardwalk and beach. We decided we'd check out Assateague Island on the Maryland side because it was only about a 20 minute drive from Ocean City.
Our first stop was the visitor center where we got some information about the park. There was also a trail behind the center where we could view a historic property called Rackliffe House. The trail started with this magical pathway.
We walked through the woods but it was also overlooking this view of the water and a golf course.
We made it to Rackliffe House and had the grounds to ourselves.
Here's a little information about the property.
The herb garden was looking very healthy!
We walked back to the visitor center on this very pine-y trail.
Another gorgeous view!
We then took a quick drive over a bridge and entered the parking lot for Assateague State Park.
We really didn't know if we'd get to see any of the wild ponies but there they were!
These two were right by the parking area.
We saw a few more as we walked toward the beach.
It was a very windy day on the beach so we didn't stay too long. After our short visit to Assateague we definitely want to return and start on the Virginia side next time.
We stopped at the outlets in Rehobeth Beach, Delaware for a little shopping and lunch then picked up coffee at the cutest drive thru coffee spot called Mudslingers.
A pretty perfect weekend!
