Assateague Island National Seashore is perhaps my favorite place on the East Coast. Assateague is a barrier island located off the eastern coast of Maryland and Virginia and is a scenic three hour drive from Washington. I love it out there because it’s undeveloped (no gaudy boardwalk scene) and there is plenty of room for people to spread out. Of course, when it’s April and 59 degrees you don’t really have to worry about crowds. Here are a few photos of today’s trip to Assateague:

American pose…in America. Don’t usually do that.
Tucker thinks he is a lapdog, BTW.
We’ll be back in the summer, when it’s a bit warmer.

From El Capitan:
Beautiful coast line out there. A happy, beach-loving dog makes it even better. I sometimes forget there are other great beaches in the US.
C’mon Lindsay, I thought you mentioned how much you liked Toby Keith’s “Who’s Your Daddy” song a while back. Something about his belt buckle caught your attention?
