vacation la la la la la la!
For the past week, I've been traversing the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia to visit relatives, stuff myself with seafood, see the ocean for a change instead of the Not-the-Ocean they're so fascinated with in Michigan, and go to the Best Junque Store in the History of the Universe. We also got amazing sushi and visited my favorite used bookstore ever, which is filled with stacks upon stacks of books and is apparently also the owner's home. If I missed anything important in Internets Land, tell me!
Most of these photos were taken from a moving car, and there aren't many of them because the batteries in my camera were slowly dying. If I could take a photo that didn't suck after fewer than 10 tries, I would have planned ahead and charged said batteries, but I can't, so whatever. Anyway.



Taken this morning. Here are all of the things I got from the aforementioned Best Junque Store Ever. None of them cost more than $5. SCORE. The little owl plate is from Japan, the jar once held Avon bath salts, and the long things in the box are swizzle sticks with skulls on top!


Outside of Captain Zack's in Chincoteague, VA. This is where we picked up delicious steamed crabs and oysters.


Chincoteague marsh.


HAI!






Road construction - not just for Michigan anymore!




BABY DUCKS!!!!! We saw them outside of Clammee Hands, a seafood restaurant near Jocelyn's house.






My mother looking kind of pissed or doubtful about something at the clubhouse in my aunt Jocelyn's neighborhood. Jocelyn was there too, but the only picture of them together is silly. As I said, I fail at photography. I had mai tais! I was highly disappointed that they didn't come in a fancy glass with at least a cherry, but they were still good.


Foggy Cambridge, MD. We were on our way back to the cursed mitten state, and the drive took SO STINKING LONG, I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU. IT WAS... 14 HOURS. MY ASS WAS NUMB. I ALMOST LOST MY MIND. I did buy a Hello Kitty coloring book at an Ohio rest stop, though, so that made me feel a little better. XP


Oh the weeping and the wailing and the gnashing of teeth and the wishing that Ohio didn't exist, because if it didn't, we'd be home already.


Somewhere in Ohio. Hooray for long exposures at night from a moving car.




The end!
