7/25/2010 So Long Friends….Hello Storm!

Audrey and Ed picked us up at 9:15 this morning so that we could go out for breakfast before they hit the road to head back to western Maryland.

We went to Seaside Grill, a beach staple that has been around for as long as I can remember. We were seated right away and we noticed that we came at just the right time because a waiting line soon formed.

We were served quickly and efficiently and left to enjoy our meal.

When we were done they dropped us off at our rig and then headed to their own to finish up packing up and hooking up, ready for the road.

They came to say so long and after hugs and handshakes and lots of “this weekend was so much fun” we bid our friends safe travels.

Aud and Ed, can’t wait to get together with you guys again!

We had been hearing all afternoon a storm was brewing. We got our awning down in time this time but there were some that were not so lucky.

This storm came fast and it came hard! So many were caught by surprise.

One minute it looked like this,,,,

…..and then it looked like this…..

Then the wind came.

People were scrambling to get awnings up, get chairs put away and clothes/towels off clotheslines and windows up in vehicles. We watched tents just be blown away. We watched awnings just tear right off and the frames that hold them just pull off of the sides of the rigs. It lasted about 15 minutes and it looked like a war zone when it was over.

Somebody spread a half a loaf of bread right behind our rig which brought out the seagulls.

What a day!
