Day 5 - Brisk Winds and Sun at our backs

 We woke Saturday to much chiller temperatures, a brisk wind and sun. It felt more like November but still warmer than home. 

It was chilly, 50s, so others waited for it to warm up a bit while I took off on my bike exploring.  The campground is expansive, with easy hiking/biking trails, a fishing pier and a nice beach.  I am sure it is packed in the summer. 

After breakfast we set out on a leisurely bicycle ride. 

Getting June on a bike with a smile on her face is no small feat, it was nice riding and plenty warm in the sun. 

There are several spots that had nice vistas of the ocean, it was fun watching the pelicans dive for fish. 

In the end we had ridden about 6 miles and left some trails to do if/when we return. It is definitely a campground to keep on your list of nice places to stop. 

We returned to camp and had a snack before heading out to check out the town of Cape Charles, Va. 

It was a brisk 10 mile scooter ride into the quaint little port town. The sun was out and we quickly warmed up walking the main street along the ocean.  

The town even has a theater, we thought about coming back to see the "Eagles", but it would mean a late, cold scooter ride back, so we passed on it. 

We eventually settled on having lunch/dinner at an Irish Pub, Kelly's Gingernut Pub. The food and beer was very good.  It reminded June and I of the Irish pubs we visited in Ireland, they did a great job of re-creating the atmosphere. 

After lunch we scootered around town and headed back. 

As we were leaving town we could not help but notice that the local brewery, Cape Charles Brewing Co. was bustling with activity. We pulled a U-turn and had to stop. 

We got our beers (5oz smalls since we were on the bikes) and headed outside where they had a roaring fire and lots of people soaking up the sun. It was a very fun atmosphere, breweries are always fun. 

After the brewery we stopped on the way back to camp and loaded two bundles of wood on the scooter so we could have our own fire. 

It is amazing that you can carry more crap on a scooter than a Harley. 

We enjoyed the fire and drinks around the fire. (Yes those are June's sneakers...not Jean's)

It was another full day of doing what we want....I could definitely get used to this. 

Sunday, we move farther north, we have reservations at a Harvest Host in Flemington, NJ, Lone Eagle Brewing. It is a 5-6 hour drive that skirts Philly, we will probably need a drink when we get there.
