Decisions

Today, the big decision ended up being what we were planning for our days off on Monday and Tuesday. Being so close to Washington, DC during Cherry Blossom time is tantalizing but the weather forecast for Tuesday is dismal not to mention the prospect of driving three hours to find no parking spot available. There’s that inherent difficulty in getting around a city full of one way streets crawling with thousands of tourists who also don’t have a clue where they are headed. And then the three hour drive home.

Our other option is to take a drive to the VA end of the island to visit the Chincoteague half of the herd. Recently the volunteer fire department held their annual spring round up to collect the horses who have had free range of the entire Virginia end of the island for the winter. The round up allows for a wellness check, inoculations and a head count of foals born during the nine months since the Pony Penning Days held in July. Perhaps we’ll be fortunate to see some of those foals although any horses seen are a plus.
