Wild Chincoteague Ponies

I received this surprised post card yesterday from my daughter in Virginia and had known that she and family were going to take a mini trip to the beach.  I had talked to her before the postman came and she was telling me that she also went up in a light house and walked outside and took some pictures.  They also got to see the Chincoteague Ponies near the surf at Assateague Island, VA.  The surf was up because of Hurricane Igor but got to take my granddaughter to play at the beach.  This reminds me of the time when Bob and I were on our honeymoon in Jacksonville, FL, and we got on a shuttle bus to go ride horses in the Atlantic Ocean.   Once we got there we found out that if you were 200 lbs. or more, you could not get on the horse.   They said I could go...who wants to go horse back riding alone in the Atlantic Ocean on your honeymoon??...when we got back to the condo where we were staying at Amelia Island Plantation, my husband complained that we should have been told upfront before we had made reservations and got to the site.  In apology they offered us a five course meal in their fancy restaurant.  The service was great and we were treated like a King and Queen.  The meal ended up costing more than the horse ride.  Maybe one day I will still get my chance to ride a horse in the ocean!  You just never know!
