The next morning we decided to go to the National Seashore where on sand vehicles are allowed to see if my dad could catch us some flounder.
We were there for about and hour before the flies drove us out. So we went back to the State Park where we thought the flies would be better only to discover they were not. In fact, the flies were so awful the ponies were suffering from Mad Pony Disease.
We fled the campsite and headed for water. The ponies had the same idea except they brought guests with them, horse flies!
We spent the entire day fending off the flies, dodging the ponies who had were going nuts because of the flies didn't know what to do with themselves and dousing ourselves in Listerine. My dad swears that Listerine repels bugs better than bug spray. I'm not so sure about that but we were willing to try anything.
Around mid afternoon my dad showed up with a Flounder. Yay!!!! We had dinner and it only took 200 casts! It was delicious.
18" of pure deliciousness!
Listerine aka bug spray... someone had convinced my dad that listerine was a healthy, eco friendly, and non toxic alternative to bug spray. I disagreed!
Dad's camp
On our way back to Washington that night1 George found us a great local restaurant in Cambridge. They close at 8pm and it was 7:50pm and we were about 20 miles out when he called to get their hours. Crystal offered to stay open late for us! We ordered hamburg steak with Mac n cheese and onion petals and a crab cake sandwich with fries. When we got there Crystal even brought us some yummy Maryland crab soup. It was wonderful. I you're ever driving along 50 towards the beaches stop in and see the fine folks at Cindy's Eastside Kitchen off of Airey's Spur Rd. in Cambridge MD. You'll be hard pressed to find such hospitality and good food. Enjoy (we certainly did)!
