One my earliest vacation memories

One my earliest vacation memories is from camping on Assateague Island I vividly remember even now setting up the tents on the beach and when I wanted mine own tent you got me my own little green and purple pop up tent that I still own today. I remember seeing the horse as soon as we drove into the campground and how we would go to the beach during the day where we would play in the surf and build sand castles and then at night we would shower put on “smell good stuff” and go to the Ocean city board walk. We go to all the arcades, peruse the stores, get fries at Thrasher’s, and my favorite the rides especially the roller coaster. I remember the one year when we had raccoons raid our camp and steal our bag of marshmallows and run off into the underbrush. There were so many different animals and so many things to do we rode bikes, played catch, and even once fed the wild ponies pop tarts. It’s one of the early memories I have the will stick with me forever.
