This was all in a roughly 50 mile stretch of land and it was pretty weird. The three states also have very different tax rules and regulations and the people were very different. The scenery became much more rural with more farmland along the route. Then we arrived in Virginia and it changed again. Maryland was also much “kitschier” with tons of mini golf, souvenir shops, and a packed commercial area. Keep in mind this was all the same coastal road, but where Delaware was mostly residential, Maryland was huge ocean front high rises. Crossing from Delaware, to Maryland, to Virginia though showed HUGE differences. Although there were distinct differences in the states they were all still New England so in many respects there were similarities. For those who live in larger states you might not know how different states can be, but as someone who lived in the southwest corner of New Hampshire we routinely crossed from NH to Vermont to Mass in a few hours. One thing I did want to mention before talking about Assateague is how weird it was to cross three states that day. Since he was getting lots of beach time, I didn’t feel too guilty about it.
They don’t allow dogs, even in your car, on the Virginia side, so unfortunately Jack had to stay home for the day. There are two sections to the National Seashore and after researching I learned that only the Maryland half is dog friendly. We both wanted to see Assateague National Seashore, because we had been hearing about it since we were kids. We did get a little rain, and yes, this campground does have some standing water when it rains, but thankfully it was beautiful again on my day off.
