Yesterday was and emotional day as I went to visit my first church in Swan Quarter. Unfortunately, The Plymouth church closed many years ago,  but the Swan quarter church was always a special congregation.  What was really surprising was the poster that had the history of the church as you walk in and to my amazement there I am as big as life that young optimistic 25 year old!in some ways it looked the exact same, but the chancel area got a really nice redesign!  Sanctuaries are always spiritual places and it was fun for me to walk in and hear the memories of the children playing tag under the floors on Sunday Morning and the laughter, I have yet to be in a congregation that laughed and enjoyed life as much as they did. 
From there I went to Negs head and had a fun beach day finding a cool hole in the wall resteraunt for an awesome lunch and a local Rum distillery that had a low sugar rum and it was delicious! We camped on the beach which was amazing the only problem being that I had to spend an hour and a half today to get sand out of the van, and I am sure I did not get it all!
Tonight I am back at a National Park, this time on Assateague Island  this cool sanctuary for wild horses and beautiful views!  Tomorrow we head up to New Jersey.
