Eastern Shore Day Trip

Our family is a big fan of Andy Grammer, and the nearest stop on his tour was in Selbyville, DE. We decided to surprise the kids with a day trip to explore the Eastern Shore, covering a lot of the DELMARVA region. The kids had no idea what the day would involve and weren't allowed to ask any questions. It ended up being an incredible day!

First Stop:

Cape Charles, VA

This town exudes the hospitality and charm reminiscent of Mayberry. With its quaint shops, breathtaking bay views, and delectable food, it's a destination we are sure to revisit!

The shops are charming and staffed by friendly people. Our favorite discovery was the pomegranate quince vinegar at North Street Market. We've drizzled it over salads with olive oil, and it's fantastic!

For a midmorning snack, we visited Coastal Baking Co. and tried a variety of treats. Our favorite was the Smith Island Cake with yellow cake and chocolate icing—an Eastern Shore classic.

Our last destination in Cape Charles was the Oyster Farm Seafood Eatery. Although the service was a bit slow, the friendly staff and the beautiful views made it worthwhile. We especially loved the Fish Tacos!

Berlin, MD

After satisfying our hunger, we traveled north to Berlin, MD, for a coffee break and snack. We searched for coffee on Google Maps and found 2nd Wave Coffee in Berlin, MD, just outside Assateague Island. We decided to stop there and were amazed by the beauty of this small town. These hidden gem, main street-style towns truly feel like a step back in time. The coffee at 2nd Wave was delicious, and the kids discovered the charming snow cone stand, On Thin Ice, which was delightful!

Assateague Island National Seashore

With coffees and snow cones in hand, we made our way to Assateague Island National Seashore. It was an unforgettable experience. We weren't certain if we would see the wild ponies, but as soon as we crossed the bridge, they were everywhere! We were amazed, the kids were amazed, and we cherished every moment of this visit. It's a fantastic way to see the ponies without much time or effort.

At this point, the kids believed the day of surprises had ended, and it was time to return home. However, a 30-minute drive to Selbyville, DE, left them puzzled - could anything top the wild ponies?! Andy Grammer gave an outstanding performance, and the Freeman Arts Center was an ideal venue to watch him!
