Dave and I finally had the opportunity to go on a little trip in the Westy. We drove (9 hours) to Assateague Island, MD and camped four nights at the state park. It was a short trip with the intention of just relaxing for a few days before returning home to put the living room back together before the snow flies.

Westy enjoys the sunset...
...while we take a moonlit stroll.
We practically had the beach to ourselves! Maybe the biting flies chased everybody away...
Dave counted 97 steps from our campsite to the beach.
And then the winds came.
Breezy
They started out in the mid-20's in the morning picking up to 36 mph in the afternoon, with gusts to 44. Going onto the beach was like getting sand blasted and our glasses fogged over within minutes with sea spray. We had a ball!
Playing in the surf.
The sea was angry that day my friend.
Ah, there's nothing like a few days at the beach!
The day after our return home Dave noticed anti-freeze on the driveway...the water pump is on the verge of dying. We are very lucky, especially considering that we got stuck in two traffic jams on the way home. Very lucky indeed.
I'm sorry we didn't get to see you, but very glad Westy made it home! There is nothing like spending time at the beach.
