Tangier Island

If you need a break from technology, and a weekend of relaxation, I highly recommend Tangier Island. Located just off the Eastern Shore, Tangier is a peaceful island and definitely one of my favorite places I have visited this summer. Here are some photos from my trip with Jason a few weeks ago:

Departing from Onancock! Had to ride a ferry there.

Our cute Bed & Breakfast, the Hilda Crockett Chesapeake House!

Locals let us ride their bikes to the beach


Peaceful


At the B&B...sad to leave

"Irene" and "Typhoon" make their debut at the Aquarium

Adorable!

Irene brings sea turtle hatchlings ashore over the weekend


Little "Irene" and "Typhoon" measure less than two inches in length and are probably about a week old. Thanks to Hurricane Irene, there may be more on the way...
Aquarium officials say as many as 80 nests on the East Coast were disturbed by the arrival of Hurricane Irene on Saturday.   Last Thursday, a nest at False Cape State Park hatched making it possible that Irene and Typhoon are from this nest!
