73) Assateague Island National Seashore

Visited: Tuesday, July 23rd, 2013

This was truly a last minute addition - we hadn't planned to go when we woke up - but it was quite enjoyable to see.  We only visited the Maryland portion of the island, but the story of the island (particularly the "Atlantic City" like development planned - but then washed away before ever opening) and the wild horses to be viewed there were fascinating.

Unfortunately, we only had about an hour to see what we could; fortunately, that was enough to start to gain an appreciation for the site - and inspire a trip to the Virginia portion of the island next time around.

As a bonus, Megan spotted a jellyfish in the shallow waters; I don't think I'd ever seen one in the wild before.
