Assateague Island, Virginia

My family and I went to visit my wife's relatives in Virginia. On our way back home we stopped at Assateague Island. It is a great place to enjoy some wildlife and have some fun with the kids. We had a great time there. I think it was $5 a car load and you can stay all day. I'm not sure I would recommend swimming, the undertow is really strong.
As you can see in the video below, we were able to see some egrets and even wild horses, that is what the island is known for. There is one picture of a snake tail sticking out of a stump. My daughter saw it right after she leaned on the stump to look for horses. So much for peace and quiet. Enjoy!
