We were supposed to go to Chincoteague on Sunday.
But there is a Nor’easter hanging over the Eastern Coast and it looks like the
causeway out to the island may be closed.
I’ve done this trip during a Nor’easter before and I’m not anxious to repeat it.
At this point the waves were washing up over the road- it was really scary. They closed
the causeway behind us!
So we are waiting until – maybe Wednesday or Thursday to go. There is no
one waiting on us and no reason we have to risk driving in the bad weather.
So- I’m biding my time here at home- putting my packed bag back into the
closet- baking some more cookies and waiting this storm out from Ohio.
Sounds like a very smart decision! Wait till you hear all is safe and sound.
I’m hoping this is the right decision. I just talked to someone on the island and she said it was breezy and warm- no rain yet.
Yes, that was a harrowing experience! I was reading on their website that they are only giving an hour’s warning if they decide to close the causeway. I think we had like five hours to make it during that storm. Glad you are playing it safe, and I hope you have fun with your cookies! Let’s do something this week before you go!
Plus – Jordan is moving into an apartment today. I am sad and happy to see him take this step- but I’m glad I’m here for it.
I’d love to get together before we go.
I’m glad we waited. Better safe than sorry. Also I was here when Jordan came over to pick up a few things. Your pictures do not inspire confidence in taking off this weekend. Love you!
🙂
Better safe than sorry, Heidi, I’m glad you’ve decided to wait! Great news about Jordan, I hope the move goes well for him! xx
Thanks, Celia- he found a great apartment at a decent price- now he needs to get some appliances and cooking experience. 🙂
