Saturday Snapshot 10/8: Janes Island State Park, MD


Saturday Snapshot is hosted by West Metro Mommy Reads. 

My husband and I went away for our first Empty Nest Vacation last week! We had planned to go to Vermont but found out it was going to be far too cold for camping, so at the last minute - really, the very last minute - we changed all our reservations and went south instead! We spent a lovely week at Janes Island State Park on Maryland's Eastern Shore and at Assateague Island National Seashore, with the last couple of days (and our anniversary) back in Delaware at Rehoboth Beach.

First, a few photos from our first day at Janes Island State Park, a lovely park right on the Chesapeake  Bay, with wonderful water trails for kayaking and a gorgeous sunset over the water:

Out on the water - cue the seagull!

Fabulous sunset over the Chesapeake Bay

Hope you are enjoying a great weekend!
