Daddy-Daughter Trip - Day 2

This morning, we woke up and headed towards the Beebe Ranch. We learned about it in the book called "Misty of Chincoteague" (and other books in the series). The horses in the story were called "The Phantom", "Misty", "Stormy" and "Sea Star". We really liked reading about their lives on Chincoteague and wanted to see where they lived. We met Mr. Billy Beebe (Paul and Maureen's first cousin!!) and his wife. They knew Grandpa and Grandma Beebe - it was Billy's Grandpa too! They showed us a movie about the true story of Misty and we got to visit her stable. In the pasture, there was a horse named "Angel", who was the fifth generation of the Misty family. The order is Phantom had Misty, Misty had Stormy, Stormy had Windy, Windy had Night Mist and Night Mist had Angel. Guess what - we got to feed Angel!!! It was fun to learn about the wild ponies and learn that it was a true story. The Beebes even had Misty and Stormy inside their house (they were stuffed)! Later, we stopped at the Wallops Island NASA Visitors Center to learn about rockets. We had Hardees for lunch and then we drove towards Philadelphia. We went through Maryland and Delaware and finally got to Pennsylvania. Daddy found the KOA campground near Coatesville. We had to set up the tent (we got a new one!) and get organized. Our camp site is next to the Brandywine River and there are lots of campers here, some with big tents and some with RVs. We met some very nice people at the next camp site - they have kids named Mariam and Adam. We got to go with them to the Game Room (Daddy gave us money) and we played pool with them and other games. We got some ice cream from the little restaurant next door. When it got really dark, the KOA had a flashlight lollipop hunt! It was really fun. Then we got ready for bed and Daddy told us spooky stories. :-o!!
