Final Photos from Wallop's Island

Snapshots here include washing the equipment after the Marsh trip and our trip to the Ice Cream store in Chincoteague (?) Friday night. Friday after dinner, we went for a walk on the beach, and played flashlight tag. The ice cream store offered home-made ice cream and really gave you a lot for your money. Later we went back to the lab for an impromptu talent show and final thoughts and reflections.

Saturday I was up at 6, got the boys up at 7, for packing before breakfast at 8,

We finished loading the bus and cleaning the dorms by 9:30.

We went to the Assateague Lighthouse for about an hour and a half before the rains came again while we were at another Visitor's Center.

We started for home around 12:15. At exactly 1:58 pm, for the FIRST TIME since TUESDAY, we actually saw some SUNSHINE !

We stopped for lunch/dinner at a Wendy's around 2:45 pm. We stayed there for a little over an hour, and then made several bathroom/pit stops on the way home.

We arrived back at Burley, right on time, at 7:30 pm Saturday night.

P. S.   The school bus was a 1996 model, same as most of the kids on the trip.  :0)

To everyone who has been faithfully looking at this blog for over a month now, with nothing to show for it, I am sorry. It is all my fault. There were so many photos from this trip, and I wasn't exactly sure how (or if) we were going to present them. The magnitude of the project made me keep putting it off. I hope to do better now in the next few weeks before Thanksgiving -- we have lots more photos to share from football games, Round Hill Farm, the Halloween Dance, Erica's wedding, Sydney's trip to the concert, Cal and Bailey's Field Trip to Pittsburgh, Halloween and more . . .
