Assateague Island

I'm camping at Assateague Island in Maryland with my family and about 20 other people. This is the third Memorial Day weekend in a row we've camped here. The federal government did well here; this island would look like Ocean City--Manhattan by the beach--if it had not been preserved.

We actually found a restaurant near Ocean City for lunch today that didn't have mediocre food or charge a fortune. Em Ming's is a highway barbecue joint. They roasted a whole pig today--Anthony Bourdain would have grabbed the head--and it was delicious. Great pork, great sauces, and great cole slaw, baked beans, and other sides. You can get a goods meal at a fair price in Ocean City, but you have to look for it.

We're sitting out by the fire now. I can hear the waves crashing on the beach just over the hill. Very relaxing.
