Honestly, we did look online to try to see what activities we could possibly do once we got across the river, but according to the google map, it didn't look like there was a whole lot going on over there. Oh well, that didn't matter. We decided we would just go for a nice drive over there anyway. We just barely missed the ferry by about 2 minutes (it runs every half hour) so we just waited until it came back around again. Once we made it across we were pretty excited when we found a park where we could drive around on the beach. They had campsites there as well as quite a few covered pavillions for picnicing. Conveniently enough, just before we left, I made some sandwiches for us to take along in the car since we didn't really know what we were doing, soooo we stopped at one of the pavillions and had our own little picnic. When we were finished, Sayre gathered up all of our trash and brought it over to the garbage can. As he dropped the trash in, he jumped backwards about 10 feet while I sat there staring at him wondering what was going on. Apparently our trash landed on top of a very unhappy little opossum who must have been rummaging around in there for some food... oops! I'm not sure who was more surprised - that poor little guy or Sayre ;) Anyway, after that adventure we continued driving around the island and stumbled upon quite a few more parks, fishing areas, and kyak rental shops before we decided to head back home. It's always exciting to find new places to explore!

Talbot Island
Sayre and I went on an unplanned adventure yesterday, which if you know us, is very uncharacteristic of us. Usually, if we're going to do something, we're going to plan it to the fullest extent. When we woke up Saturday morning, it was a dreary and overcast day. We had wanted to go to a swamp that's about 2 hours from here and take a boat tour, but the looming clouds ahead told us that the swamp wasn't the greatest idea for the day. Having spent most of the week inside I was just itching to get out, so Sayre suggested that we drive over to the ferry and take it across the river and then just see where the day takes us. Desperate to be outside, I happily agreed and off we went.
